Verifying 4.2 engine
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I am in the process of looking for a 2003 or newer XK8 and have found a couple that have become available recently. They are supposedly 2003's but don't have the badge on the driver-side rear that displays 4.2. When talking with dealers that have XK8's for sale, how can I have them verify which engine the car has in it? I don't want to buy a car from the east cost and have it shipped to me in Kansas to find out it has the 4.0 engine. Thanks.
Also, it seems like there are some 2003 that don't have the 'chrome' accents around the dash, is that an option?

That's right, the easiest way to tell the 4.2 is that the coil covers are not screwed on, they have hidden fasteners.
