It doesn't look like it, but the 5.0 and the calibers are matt gold
A better picture of the wheels in the sun (instead of by work light at night)
Got some Hawk 5.0 pads to pop in for street driving, and will swap back to the DTC-60 for the next track day. Dust is crazy.

Got it back.... No duff fuff stumbling on acceleration at low rpm, no crappy throttle feeling after gear changes, vct and phaser cam timing showing all cams behaving as they should with mere degrees between matched pairs (acceptable limits). Still sounds like a bus at idle so dunno what the fluke is going on there. P0024 be gone forever
Only thing that was found in engine that raised eyebrows was a leaking secondary chain tensioner on bank 2 (the problem bank). Everything else seemed ok. Guess we'll know soon enough if all finally sorted.

video of the original secondary tensioners, the guide plates (black thingies) have been rotated for artistic effect, they were parallel to the chain. New tensioners fitted were of the superseded type and smaller in length which did cause some panic in the beginning but quick set of PM's to @LevittownFordParts who supplied the parts confirmed all was good with the kit, just Ford had updated parts, wonder why eh ? AS i posted last night, hopefully this is the end of the crappy running and Princes Ford stops shtting itself cause damn this stuff aint cheap (but way way cheaper than Ford UK who didn't even know the phasers are different exhaust / inlet ! ) All chains / VCT's / Phasers / tensioners and every damned rubber seal from timing cover to valve covers also replaced.
One ting to add, if anyone else is doing this work, get a new dipstick tube as well cause it'll save a tonne of time and it costs peanuts to add to the entire kit

Checked under it for oil / coolant leaks and found nothing nor did the garage smell of either. Checked oil and coolant levels, oil fine but defo needs changed (which grade of oil for a 17plate GT) coolant was a little low so topped it up and will monitor. Drove it, felt smooth no issues but it still sounds like a bus at idle.

Yeah i reckon 5-30 is the way forward. Went shopping tonight and opened the boot and forgot i had the original phasers and vcts in there. Wasn't a big shop thankfully. Wonder if there's a market for used phasers / vcts hahaI would try the later grade oil (5-30), and if itās still a little noisy, try some ceratec
