Jaguar XKR Misfire: Timing Chain Tensioners Nightmare - Ripped Off! (EP 12)

The "Jaguar Specialist" didn't just lie—they scammed the previous owner. In Episode 12, we finally pull the cam covers on the Jaguar XKR to verify the timing chain service that was supposedly carried out by a professional. After our Picoscope suggested the engine was a tooth out of sync, we had to see it for ourselves. What we found was a disgrace. Not only was the timing set incorrectly, but I am 100% certain the Independent Jaguar Specialist never even removed the Bank 2 cover. They charged for tensioners that were never replaced, leaving this engine on the brink of a catastrophic failure. We’re finally putting it right with Gen 3 metal tensioners, but the "Specialist’s" shortcuts have left us with a massive mechanical puzzle. As if the timing wasn't enough, we hit a "boss fight" with a seized Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP). What should be an 8mm bolt and a quick swap has turned into a 3-day battle against 25 years of heat and corrosion. In this episode: The Forensic Reveal: Proving why Bank 2 was never even opened by the previous shop. Exposing the "Specialist": Finding the original plastic tensioners they charged to replace. The 1-Tooth Fix: Resetting the AJ27 timing to fix the persistent lumpy idle. The CKP Nightmare: My best tips (and frustrations) for extracting a sensor that has become part of the block. A note to the viewers: This isn't just a repair anymore; it’s an investigation. It’s infuriating to see owners get ripped off like this, but it’s exactly why we "Make It Happen" ourselves. If you’ve ever discovered a "pro" repair was a total lie, I want to hear about it in the comments. Subscribe to see if we can get this Jaguar back on the road after fixing years of neglect and lies.
