Timing chain tensioner replacement on a Jaguar & Land Rover 3.2, 3.5, 4.0, 4.2, 4.4 V8 – VOTD

Timing chain tensioner replacement on a Jaguar & Land Rover 3.2, 3.5, 4.0, 4.2, 4.4 V8 – VOTD

Chain tensioner: 2 to 3 hours ($75 / $345 / $550)

In this video I helped my brother replace a timing chain tensioner in his 2003 Jaguar XJ8. This process is the same for many of the V8 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles between 1998 through 2003, maybe more.

This did not fix the noise, seems like the flywheel is bad.

When ordering new cover seals, you will need 28 of the small round ones.

I'm having the same problem with my 4.4. Did replacing the tensioner cure the rattle? Thanks for the video!
