VANOS repair always reminds me of the first Mafia meet way back in 2011... We did a shitload of those....
Great shots Dan. Lovin' the Nifty Fifty.

Nice job.
How were the old seals ?
They looked ok. I guess a bit flat/flush.Quote:

Doesn't look like it's simple... How long did it take?Quote:

Yeah. He had a bear of a time getting the bolts out. He was here for 6 hours. Not sure if he took a lunch break or just got in his truck to cool off. Cost me $500 installed and included the Bosch starter and new manifold gasket.Quote:

I assume these guys are covered but didn't really look into it. They offer a 12 mo /12k mile warranty. I'm glad I paid and dos t spend the day under the car...Quote:

Once or twice a week it took 2-3 tries to start it. It would just make a grinding sound.Quote:

Good news. Did you replace the manifold gasket because "you were there" ? Or is it recommended to do at the same time as the starter.
He added it to the job as he prefers to access the starter from the top (but he also had to get under it). I got to check out the CCV while he had it open. It is the cold weather version from the PO.Quote:

sweet, shawn! this is one of terra's units, correct? i thought the cluster was supposed to pick up the mileage from the DME? (perhaps your old cluster was not original and showing incorrect mileage?)Quote:

Thanks guys. And Peter, Terra (Mirza) was a bit baffled that it didn't pick up the correct miles from the ECU he reprogrammed. He had the original cluster too and it showed 202k. I need to get PASoft working and see if the LCM will push the correct miles to the cluster.
Replaced the engine evap breather valve.
did you get your mileage issue straitened out?
No. I can't get PASoft running on my Win10 laptop after the last MS updates... :-(Quote:

Thanks. I'll try that again. Could never get the warning message to pop up. May need to in/re-install.Quote:
