To me it's like this; you have a lift and jackstands and you need to replace your clutch. You decide to use the jackstands for the added "experience", see where I'm coming from?

The time savings is marginal, at best. How long does it take to really take apart the VANOS? Maybe 10 minutes? A shop would have to take a few hours longer to do the Beisan kit for you to have a cost savings in getting the Dr. VANOS unit instead. I can tell you, it doesn't take long at all to install the anti-rattle bearings.I'm going with Dr. Vanos; see I'm a great listener.The cost is not that much more- and the bearing is already rebuilt to have the "anti-rattle" aspect, which I would do if I got the Beisan. I won't be without my car, they have a core charge. So I will pay $400, install my new vanos, and send them my old one (then they'll refund me $150). I don't see how installing Dr. Vanos would be more expensive either, it is supposed to take less time, no?
But, it is the easier solution, so it's your wallet and your choice.

What? The seals they use are from Beisan. They then clean and rebuild the whole unit, and fix the rattling issue before it starts.

Software? The VANOS seals and bearings are mechanical.

The price of the vcg, rtv, vanos gasket, etc. to the $120 for the Beisan stuff to come up with the $170 number.
Sorry if I'm confusing the crap out of you. Been a long day and I'm barely making sense to myself right now...
