    Anybody have any vanos parts?

    Hey guys, I was degreeing the cams in my car last night and found I need to limit the vanos travel for valve clearance. I took the vanos apart to make a travel spacer for it and broke off the small torx bolt inside. Anybody have a gear and bolt I can buy, or a junk vanos unit I can buy for parts? The budget is pretty much exhausted so I'm trying to avoid buying a complete one and none of the yards around here have any.

    I think I have a box with a few units. I will double check this evening. If they are still around you can have one for the price of shipping
