Well that fixed it. Quiet as a can be on start up. If I do another one, vario pads only. The ims to cams ramps I would inspect with a bore scope and decide from there. The oil pump housing is fussy. All tensioners removed and slowly and carefully pry off. Reinstall not with the bolts but tap with rubber insulated socket, and tighten bolts as you can. Tap tighten repeat… slowly.
Oh. In addition to pads I would do the tensioner update. And I would replace the chains because they are so cheap. Wayne Dempsey, alldata, and YouTube university and you can do either engine out or in car. Engine out took about 2 1/2 days extra The repair took about a day per side. For me a day = about 4 hours. I used 5900. You use very little. I did the first side with a 1.5 mm estimate. Too much. Took it back off. Did it again with much less. Too much. Took it back off. Did it again with a thin film finger spread. Perfect, just like the factory squish.
I guess we are done here. Time to find another forum with actual people on it.
