Yeah, a few disagreements on that approach but it is the fallback position. I have a buddy that does occasional fabrication for our race team that told be just to bring the VVT sprocket and mechanism plus the non-VVT variant and he would make up a hub for the VVT sprocket if needed. The advantage of this is that the VVT cam at "rest" is retarded an additional 2 degrees and this would allow me to rotate it basically half a tooth to correct for that.

This has been an interesting learning experience. I will probably have the confidence (if not the interest) to won an 850/V70 NA manual by the time I am done. I have been racing FWD cars for a few years now so a bit of my anti-FWD bias is wearing down but I would miss doing 4-wheel power slides on snow tires in the 940 or 240 on my way to work in winter.
