Wow nice hub. I know where to go when I eventually need one.
Yea, I'm going to have to read that explanation a few times, too.

It still gets me that so much attention is paid to dropping pins into holes, to the point that BMW has developed 2 different tools, but so little attention is paid to where are the vanos pistons when you're doing this.

They're tied together, so I would think that each would require equal precision.
Even hogger/hutch, in the last part of video 5, where he rechecks the timing after everything's buttoned up, says: "If it's off by a little don't worry. Just go ahead and move the cam on the hex portion of it until the pin slides in."

I think that's cheating.
