Can't find any reference to this in other searched threads so I thought I'd ask really quickly.
Basically, the entire cylindrical VVT unit can be pulled in and out of the aluminum housing, which IS secured well to the cam cover. Just the unit itself is loose. The little plunger moves freely in the cover.
Obviously this is an issue - because of it moves in too far it can actuate the plunger manually and of course the vacuum leak.
So my question - how was this originally secured? Rubber gasket? The old rubber gasket has turned to mush. So, how was it mounted, with what, and at what depth and orientation? The workshop manual wasn't clear on this.
Any help is appreciated!
