Capo di tutti capi
I hate even saying this.....but there is this guy nmaed Tom...and he didn't change his oil for 60k miles....and wwe did his VANOS, and found fudge in his cam lobes, and pretty much everywhere. Anyway...we did his vanos....and a coiuple of treatments of AutoRx....but he developed this ticking sound. We got it to go away....by going to MI FS 10W-40. Just an FYI....

I'm honestly afraid of what I might find when I do the VANOS in the Spring.

Another one I did, by comparison...
Little bit of carbon build up there on the front of the VANOS. It seems pretty normal from what I have seen...as there may be a little bit of a low flow area up there. Dont know for sure though.

When I did mine, it was completely clean under there, but all the other pics I've seen seem to have that discoloration.

Actually, M54's use timing chains, not belts.
