Picked her up from my Indy yesterday to find a dead battery (not the first time) after they replaced my VANOS seals and did the rattle kit. Went straight to Pep Boys and grabbed a Bosch 94R battery and popped that in. As for the seals, I definitely feel an increase in low-end torque and overall it's a lot smoother. Nothing crazy but I am still in the break in so will report back after that, haven't done any "spirited" driving as per Beisan's recommendations. One other thing I noticed is I can still hear a faint clatter which I had before the rattle kit was installed, it is less noticeable now but I'm thinking maybe it's not related to the VANOS. Seems to go away when I push the clutch in, is this the "ZHP rattle" I hear a lot of people refer to? Is it possible to incorrectly install the rattle kit? I talked to the tech who did it and he said it was his first time doing it and didn't see what the difference was with the rattle kit O.o
