Vario cam tensioner pad

[imjustdad]

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!
