Yeah, the variable cam timing would be making that nice tick I read about wouldn't it?

No photos unfortunately, I'll see about trying to get some, but it's dark by the time I get off work, and the car is well away from a good light source. Flashlights suck for taking photos.

Well, I thought about the dissolving it thing as well. Question is, how much damage would you think is done to the engine? Is the engine WORTH keeping, or is it surely going to die in a year or two as a result of it's previous abuse? It pulls strong, but if the bearings were starved of oil...

Any experience with VG30E's that were treated this poorly?
