Took the VANOS off, and noted the spline gear on the exhaust side is fully inside the exhaust hub,instead of all the way out per the BESIAN procedure
Does it matter where it is on removal? as I have to replace the exhaust hub and chain guide anyways which means I have to remove the exhaust spline.

There are a lot more S54 owners on that forum than here.

Really sorry to hear that, Raj was a great guy.
Do you know who is running his business now?
