@TECN1K - OK, just reviewed the procedures for doing the beisan seals and yeah, that doesn't look like fun AT ALL. I may do the DrVanos instead. That brings up another question. DrVanos has two options, either buy them up front and get refunded when your core gets there, or send them in for rebuild. From reviewing everything, if I buy them then either GAS kit works. If I send them in, I need to lock everything in place on both heads at once which means I would need the Master Kit to do both VANOS at the same time. Is this correct?

Second question, I'm assuming the "Jesus" bolt needs to come out for the timing chain guides? The procedures on Beisan didn't mention even removing the lower timing chain cover I don't think. So then my question is, will the GAS master kit work for the timing chain guides, or is there another kit somewhere I need to replace the timing chain guides in addition to the Pro/Master Kit?
