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 ?

You never worked on a K-12? Why not with all your in-depth transferable K 10 and K 11 skills and know how?
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.
Really appreciate that, thank you
Good innovative work Dave 123 to improvise, adapt and overcome one of the many pitfalls and bear traps in the K-12. I believe you’re the first DIYer on the MSC to document dismantling VVT rotor for a set/ reset workaround one part of the many notorious K 12 maintenance issues!
Thank you, really appreciate that. Chain on and works a treat, so does vvt rotor. Just spent ages cleaning sealant off, next thing to think about is whether to pull the two dowels out of the timing case or leave them in, not sure, will have a think first.

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 ?
when reinstall the chain where must the vvt locking be in retard or advanve. my car idle fine and rev up there sound like rattling noise in the TB and car is heavy on fuel before i change the piston rings the car was running 100% only smoking so i change the rings and now can seem not getting the car right its lack of power and sound like it sucking heavy air sounds like aftermaket con filter on but everything still standard. please advice
