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.

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!

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...
