It's also strange that the deviation on bank 2 is not steady. Looking forward to seeing what you find. Btw, the actuators are testable when they are out, and rebuildable as well.

I see you also had issues with that thread that holds the bolt for that latch thing and is able to withstand a singe tightening on the assembly line. Such an annoying design.

Absolutely. I'm not a mechanic and I have very limited time for wrenching in the garage with two small kids. And this is not my only one project ;)

Maybe you get lucky and there's just something jammed up at the main crank-to-IMS chain and that's why you can't turn it over. Fingers crossed!

I'm afraid there's not much room for adjustment in this case. If you realign everything, that is going to affect primarily your exhaust camshaft and that's independent on the variocam. The variocam...

Yes, plotting the cam angles in the function of time is more infomative. The graph looks fine, actually, apart from that separation in the high cam angle value ranges. I'm not sure about the load...

Something seems off, because the actuator shifts at 2500 rpm and 5500 if i remember correctly, so all your data points below 2500 and above 5500 should fall around zero, while the data points between...

I took apart, cleaned and reassembled each lifter. I can't stand lifer ticking.

Seen better days but looks salvageable. What about the log? Let me guess: a tree had grown through the chassis behind the bumber and then at some point the rest was cut out?

Oh, it's the throttle body's actuator then. Probably you messed with its cable while working around the pump, shorted somehow or similar. Inspect the wiring harness and all cables in the surroundings...

I had some progress with the engine in the past weeks (months?), starting with some clean-up. Case halves drying in the sun.

This sounds a bit odd to me. 99 Boxsters come with the dual row bearing which is usually totally fine at this mileage. The grittiness may be due to the extraction procedure. But then the noise must...
