I have a question on the installation of the O-rings. Specifically the larger one on the Vanos Solenoid.
Reading on another forum "do not fit the large o ring onto the solenoid, instead, coat it in oil and fit it into the counterbore on the front of the head."
When I installed mine I put the O-Ring on first at the base. Not sure if I installed it correctly because I can see the ring looking at the Solenoid once its installed.
