 Jaguar (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jaguar has designed in-house four generations of engines.
Jaguar owns the Daimler car company (not to be confused with Daimler-Benz), which it bought in 1960 from the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA).
In 1984 Jaguar was floated off as a separate company on the stock market - one of the Thatcher government's many privatizations - with the rest as the Austin Rover group.

 Jaguar XK8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jaguar XK8 began production in 1996 (model year 1997) and was the first 8 cylinder vehicle produced by Jaguar, introducing the new Jaguar AJ-V8 engine.

The XK8 is available in coupe or convertible forms and with either a supercharged 390  hp (287  kW) or naturally aspirated 290 hp (213 kW) engine.

 THE JAGUAR AJ-V8 ENGINE / AJ6 Engineering
Strangely Jaguar have silenced the engine to the point where it is almost too quiet for a high performance car and the undoubtedly evocative note of the V8 is muted to the point where it is all but lost.
It is perhaps then not surprising that on the Jaguar V8 the tensioners on the secondary camshaft chains in particular have developed a reputation for being troublesome.
Jaguar designed the engine in its entirety, it is manufactured in the UK, and a simplified variant is shipped over to the US where Lincoln install it in their LS model!

 Jaguar V8 Secondary Tensioners - Preventive Replacement
Jaguar’s 4.0-liter V8, known as the AJ-V8, was the first-ever eight-cylinder engine from that manufacturer.
In their zeal to reduce the weight of the valve train and related components as a way of improving fuel efficiency, the engineers underdesigned the AJ-V8's timing gear: in particular, the cam chain tensioners.
Designed in the mid-1990s by an all-Jaguar engineering team (including employees who worked on the previous twin-cam six), it proved to be a superb combination of lightness, torque, power, and fuel efficiency, the equal of anything from BMW or Mercedes.
