If the head gaskets been done then the head has been totally stripped if ιt has been faced!! They have 2 vanos units, ɑnd if the shafts have not been fitted correctly for the 2 stage cams then they will sort themselves out under normal driving but when the vvc kicks in they are out! Hard to explain through typing words! He said check timings right first! If not then head has to come of ɑnd vvc needs checking, fuel will not make that much of a difference
jon, you don't dismantle the vvc side of these at all, these engines should be treated like the rest of the k series family,
shouldn't be any need to touch the vvc system anyway.
could be a tooth out, also these are not as forgiving if badly timed.
I hope the person whos done the head gasket hasn't damaged the pickup cam,
as that's what happened to my old f*cked vvc, that's what blew the whisle, that my engine had been f*cked with, found a chewed head bolt, so we gave up on the engine.
