The Durametric activation system is for testing components to simply make sure they work (on-off), not to produce a specific measured cam angle change. On the VarioCam car it is predictable because the system simply moves the cam in one step rather than the more variable plus system. In any case, I do not believe that test the VarioCam will solve your issue.

Thank you....so a cycle for 25 back and out.. yes it's not a vario plus....I was hoping that actuating the solenoids a few times might stabilize my readings or make them unstable.....perhaps this could point to a wear pad issue on the vario cam chain pads or weakness in the solenoids. IRC they are energized at idle...maybe the holding power is not what it should be
Yes the solution would be tear down and replace
