camshaft deviation analysis

[Jake Raby]

This is what happens when people drive a Porsche like a Honda, or Toyota or Buick Skylark.. Easy driving keeps the VVT arrangement in the "loaded" position at all times and increases the forces these wear pads see.

Men can also drive like females, and they wear these components out way early as well. We have actually seen these wear so thin that they break in half.

Thanks for all the info. Time to start looking for tensioner pads...

Ha ha! That explains a lot! When I bought this car in the spring, the p o almost had a fit when I punched it on the test drive!
