A question for anyone who has replaced the VarioCam...Does the actuator need to be primed before reinstalled? I know oil fills the cylinder to adjust the chain, I just dont know if I need to prime/fill it before the install.

wvicary-thanks for the info.

seafeye-No, I didnt make that tool. It looks fairly easy to fabricate, but I'm not sure yet if I really need it. As long the notches in the cam line up correctly you should be able to set the timing correctly. I guess I'll find out. I will continue to document the process and share it at www.nutrod.com.

I did both of mine and the only special tool I used was to hold the camshafts in position while the cam cover was removed/re-installed.

I just welded one up and it is nothing fancy, but it works. You can time the camshafts with the timing marks and bright links on the chains.
