s80 vvt question before reinstall of machined head
Good morning.
First post(thank you in advance.
My 2001 s80 overheated and now i am changing gasket and having head machined.
I did not remove vvt gear from cam on disassembly.
Can i renistall cam back the way it came off?
Or do i have to go through the whole process of adjusting VVT?
Thank you again.
Brian.
Also why is piston half way down bore at TDC????(strange)

The three bolts are for the toothed gear only, not the CVVT hub. The CVVT hub is held to the cam with one larger bolt.
The process to set up the CVVT hub is different for different years. In theory, if you didn't unbolt it from the cam, it should be fine. I've never tested it though because I'd rather do the job correctly once than take shortcuts and have a leaking cam seal or other issue with the CVVT just because I wanted to save 15 minutes.
