Still planing on dropping the engine and removing the valve covers. Any way to tell by looking at the actuators if they are bad since the seals are inside?

they are non-serviceable, so you cant open them to look inside (the actuators in the image - from my car - were ‘destructively disassembled’). ps, ask your tech how a failed oil filter o-ring gives you a -10 deviation. it’s a trick they play - tell you it’s a cheap fix to get you to start they work (ie, pads) and, once the engine is opened, hit you with an additional $2k for the actuators. fyi, the other ‘while you are in there’ jobs are variocam chains and the three tensioners (make sure you get the updated items). i think the actuators come with the updated pads. mine were done with engine in car.
