Boris changed the Variator and steering bearings today. Dr. Pulley sliders ruined the Variator. Now much smoother, faster and quieter. Almost new again.

Changed tires to Michelin Power Pure front and rear at 49,333. Also put original exhaust back on to preserve the engine as the LV caused much backfiring and I was concerned that it ran hot.

Boris found that the issue was a damaged crankshaft lobe and rocker arm. All probably caused by design flaw. Repaired after almost 3 months but should be good again. Also did new piston rings. $650.00 total cost. Didn't matter too much as I had David's GT to use while mine was in the shop.
