Check the VIN number. If the last six digits are comprised of a letter and then 5 numbers, the engine is of a newer series and is not Nikasil lined (don't know about the timing chain tensioners). Whereas if the last six of the VIN are all numbers, then the original engine was Nikasil lined and should probably be avoided. Many engines were replaced under warranty, however. If the engine of this car was replaced, a green sticker will have been placed behind the right valve cover indicating that it is a newer engine without the Nikasil linings.
You may wish to visit the site below and hang out there a little to learn more about them. I've been looking at XK8s and have found that site to be very helpful.
Best of luck and let us know how it turns out!
