The cam error is mostly less than 1 degree but occasionally a bit more, regardless of rpm and load. Anyhow I've got another set of solenoids and phasers here so I'll see what happens when I swap them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with the solenoids first. The cam angle should vary more than -10 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solenoids are a pretty quick thing to do. Only thing now is to get out there and start checking stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ensure no oil flow restrictions to the phasers first. Inspect cam caps on top of each phasers for blockages. Obviously the OCV screens were clean. Phasers can make noise when they are stuck too. Good luck mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exhaust cam is toast, intake cam is fine. Will be pulling the engine to assess any further damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
