The following pics are in the (unlocked) position retarded. In my opinion if you had the 5 point security bit it would be a lot easier just to undo them and reset it once undone from the cam (as long as your careful and re torque the bolts up afterwards. ill upload more pics of the hub...

Last night I decided to take apart my old vvt hub to see how it works, I discovered you can tell if the hub is in the advanced position (locked) or in the retarded postion (unlocked) by looking inside the oil grooves. These pics are in the locked postion

yes a new chain and tensioners etc. the crank was only turned clockwise to line everything up. the lobes line up as in the pics. that's why im sure its the vvt hub that's out not sure which marks should line up on the front of the hub.

yes your correct its an m7!

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.

is there a guide anywhere on how to reset the vvt hub. im not sure if my hub is in the correct postion, cant get the timing chain to align on the vvt hub.
