: Basically, he was saying that the noise you hear when the VTC goes is the rocker-arms slapping against the cam? apparently the rocker-arms are hydrolically pressurized, and when the VTC goes, it's actually the a VALVE that's the problem? It lowers the oil-pressure to the rocker-arms and the followers can't keep up with the cam - even at idle. : Does anyone have anything anywhere I can read about this? I'm thinkin of doing the rebuild myself, but I want to make sure I know what I'm gettin myself into. I was under the impression that the spring is the first thing to go, and that it's this spring that's making the notorious tick tick tick. : I've got the TSB that describes rebuilding the sprocket, and I've found what I could in chilton's - anyway - can any of you guys help me out? : thanks,
: so does anyone have any first hand knowledge about these f'n sprockets. I had about 2 mintutes to pick the brain of one of the techs at the local dealership, but i didn't get everything answered.
