I removed the VCT gear and installed both cam gears and my idle is good.
Only two problems so far. One is the car doesn't have the same kick when it went past 3500rpm. Eventually that will be fixed when I tune the gears for max power.
The second problem I've recently noticed is I'm starting to get some serious oil blow-by comming out from the rubber seal of the VCT solenoid. 10psi and hard WOT driving will do that but that's the first time I've seen oil come out there. Normally it comes out the crank case breather tube.
I'll need to keep my eye on that, but for non boosted engines it shouldn't be a problem.
