Hey guys
Just looking for some info on people who have spent more time around the v6 alloytecs or had this problem . My vz was making a rattling noise at idle and the check oil light would come on.. But only when stoped or taking off ,, as soon as your moving the light goes off and the engine goes back to normal .. So I did some research and found out it's a common problem so I brought new primary chain and 1 secondary chain and fitted it myself today as well as new primary Tentioner and guides ( on top of it being a huge job there was no sludge anywhere under the front cover or under the rocker covers . The cams where fine as was the oil pump) so after putting it all back together it Sounded and looked like I had fixed the problem until about a few hours after driving it has gone back to doing it again! I'm using 10w-40 oil .. Anyone got any susgestions ? It's starting to be a huge drama
