I'm tackling my vanos today. Been sitting on the parts forever.

I'm about 2 hours in. Grabbing a quick lunch break.

Anti rattle rings are installed and vanos pistons are reassembled.

Just have to do the seals and button her up.

Oh yeah, and run down the PS fluid leak that I discovered this morning....

Sounds like fun Keith!

Good luck!

A weekend drive and Chegg run is in order.

As long as everything keeps cruising along with no issues, it's the best therapy going!!

Seals are done. Vanos back together. Time to button her up.

Next Saturday there's an NJCCA event in Frenchtown I was planning on attending - just a meet/greet/ogle cars event. Frenchtown is a hike for you, I imagine, but with that VANOS done, I'm sure you'll want to break it in! You can always drive up Fri. night. Plenty of space for you and/or you and the wife. Leave the Mazda at home. hahahaa

Appreciate the offer. My father-in-law is getting his chest cracked at UPenn on Friday. I'll be on a family crisis counselor detail for the weekend.

Thanks, gents. He's heading in for a triple bypass.

He's in good hands. I researched the crap out of cardiothoracic surgeons. He's headed to one of the top 1% in the country.
