What you see protruding is actually part of the housing. The rebuild kit gets rid of the pin and is replaced with a bolt from the other side.Originally Posted by Washburn

This. I would be interested in another group buy for a cap and VANOS kit if enough people get in on it.

I would thoroughly research posts on this and other forums how ( or if) the cap can actually be a disadvantage before deciding - I read everything I could find on this thread and many other much more in depth threads at the other two forums about it and decided to keep the oem cap. It seemed like GAS could not defend their argument about the lower pressure cap being a benefit in one long thread where it got very technical and in depth - just the impression I had.
I just think it's prudent to read all those threads in bimmerfest and E46f before deciding.

Took mine off and was going to do it while I watched the LBGP but so clean and nothing loose so part of me is thinking if it ain't broke...

One of mine was like that, relatively new and in great shape. I rebuilt it anyway - piece of mind and I won't ever have to worry about it again... Just out of curiosity, are you changing the o-ring either way?

I would recommend doing it if you have the kit on hand. It will most likely fail at some point.
