Horrible purple tinged photos. Obvs a HTC One M7 / M8View attachment 39351
this is the view of the vvt hub I can align up the crank with the first cam, if I align the marks on the vvt hub there is no tension between the two hubs the chain is sagging between them. I assume its because the vvt hub is misaligned.
Hello Frank, sorry to pester you, but just now confused and cannot get the vvti inlet sprocket off. Tried a foot pump and electric pump with rubber tube, but will not release the pin. How can I get this off the inlet cam without breaking it, does pin have to be disengaged to remove the main bolt, and if taken off when fitting new chain will the vvti cog just sort itself out !? So long as chain is in correct position on cog ? I have tried last night and tonight but cannot get this to move, cam will move with spanner on, but scared to take main nut off end. Is it worth while considering removing hex bolts ? Thank you
Thanks, how do I get an answer to my question off the forum, just cannot see how to do it ? Is there a general expert area where the question can be placed ?i,ve never worked on a k12 tbh mate

Hi plmval, I have just got a 5 star torx sett off eBay and taken sprocket to pieces, locked rotor to stator and got vvt phaser off, easy to put to unlock but there are small plastic vanes inside that you just have to watch you do not loose or drop in engine. Ordered chain and is now going back together.You never worked on a K-12? Why not with all your in-depth transferable K 10 and K 11 skills and know how?
Really appreciate that, thank youHey mate found this it helped me when i done mine

Hi Sean, fitted chain and cleaned off sealant, only doubt I have is whether to remove the two metal dowels in the main timing case before fitting and drift them in afterwards, or just leave them in the timing cover where they currently are ?Hey mate found this it helped me when i done mine
