S54 Vanos Bullet Proofing

Vanos overhaul Completed yesterday. Everything was squeaky clean and tight with 63k on the motor. No loose cam bolts and no broken exhaust hub tabs. Only wear item was the chain tensioner and probably would have snapped in the next 20k miles. Vanos rattle is gone and car doesn't flatline between 7.5 and 8k anymore. If anyone local to the DMV area is looking for this service you must have DAFOE do it. Top notch guy and could probably do it with his eyes closed. This was the last preventative maintenance item on the list and now we wait for Turners new carbon air box, OEM catless headers and TTFS tune.

OP, well done, i look forward to doing this when my time comes, cars sub 20k miles are the moment so ill look at it , at around 40k.

FYI, those wheels in silver are just money...... ive got some new wheels on order and i look at this pic and ask myself why am i spending so much when these are so perfect for this car??

merry xmas guys.

Going to further join the chorus of DMV folks interested in Dafoe's VANOS bulletproofing services if that's still on offer. Thanks very much!
