Anyone know how I can get rid of the rattle of the drive chain when the car starts up.
Always a bit embarrassed to turn the key from cold. Takes a good few minutes to warm up and settle down.

From what I understand it the chain rattling on the cam cover. It's not really bad, certainly no worse than any other tuscan I heard when shopping around at dealers but it would be great if someone knew a way to get the beast to sound good from turning the key first thing in the morning.

you could try getting the rocker cover gasket, i think racing green do one. Not sure if anybody else makes them. This lifts the rocker cover by about half a centimeter and can stop the chain catching the cover.
