All done ,, got a few miles on it and it runs great .. small vibration coming through the stick at idle but nothing like before. car runs smooth and pulls fine ,,, the vario cam pad work with the engine still in the car i would say is a 7 out of 10 for difficulty on the home mechanic scale.. not particularly difficult if you have all the right tools , but can be tedious for sure.

Local indy quoted around 5G for this work which i thought was eye watering for what it is . did this work for a couple hundred in parts and borrowed the tools. to be fair i did a lot more work that just this , but car was off the road for 7 weeks. Far too long for some people, but i was okay with it. A lot of it was waiting for parts deliveries and such.

Also did
coolant flush
new stat
new water pump
new oil pressure relief valve
new oil filter housing
replaced missing skid plate
cleaned rads and condensers and repositioned front bumper
new battery
rerouted emergency pulls for front and rear openings
new frunk struts
new trunk struts
removed centre console and seats for deep cleaning of interior and carpet.
replaced 3 chain tensioners.
new air filter
new cabin filter
changed oil
retorqued loose spark plugs
now a month of driving before winter storage.
