Thanks gentlemen. Sounds like checking camshaft deviation numbers is my next step. Looks like I can do a short-term rental of a Durametric tool and be able to check the numbers myself. And Homeoboxter, I needed a good borescope anyway; this looks like a good excuse.
Newsguy, point taken. I've barely driven it since I got it home and won't til I get a better handle on condition. Did yours spin the main bearings? Or did you catch it before it went ballistic? Thanks again for the input guys!

Remember to do these checks with the engine up to running temperature. Otherwise you will get readings that will be inaccurate and could possibly lead to an incorrect diagnosis.

Do we still concur that these pads need to be changed out before 80K miles to avoid chain damage?
I can't imagine taking cam covers off with the engine in the car

Imjustdad--it appears he shut it down early enough there are no spun bearings. You can definitely see they were lacking some oil, though.

If I remember correctly once you have the Durametric program booted up.
click on the engine module in the window pane on the left.
Then go down to activations.
You should be able to activate the the Vario Cam actuators from there.
If you can't figure it out let me know. I will hook mine up so I can refresh my memory then I will talk you through it.
