So I bought a 2008 GT 4.2 with 54k. Got a few things to sort at once, rear tyres and drop links. Been listening closely to the engine on start and occasionally there is a little bit of a rattle. I’ve read a lot about the variator problem of these motors and am factoring in getting them overhauled in a few months. In the meantime I’ve a couple of questions which I haven’t seen answered in the threads I’ve seen:
Philip
- If the car has been sitting for a while would cranking it over without firing it up build up enough oil pressure to reload the variators.
- Is there a independent machine shop you can send the cam covers to to get the check valve fitted.
