My mechanic had my car for a month to put in valve springs and new guides! And even then he didn't put it back together right so now I get the warnings in the photo below -----------------------------------------------------I think I read in a valve spring post on here, you are warned not to bump or touch the cam sensor. To me it seems your mechanic has screwed your sensor over.

fehlbie Donating Members 142 Member For: 16y 24d Posted 28/03/13 10:36 AM Share Posted 28/03/13 10:36 AM Why do you need to lock the cams, don't they need to be removed for you to get to the valve springs.
