I would pull the cam cover and take a look. My 2001 XKR had second generation plastic which I immediately replaced.

The engine number is everything. The build date for the car is conveniently located on the doorpost, but the engine date is hard to find (near the thermostat) and even harder to read.
The 2002 model year begin production in July of 2001. The first engine built with metal tensioners and guides was built on August 13th but didn't find its way into assembly until September.

My car was built on September 23rd, but the engine was built on August 22nd and has metal tensioners. I made it by nine days
.
They continued to build the 2002 model year until June of 2002, so more than half of the 2002s should be okay.
