    • If the bump and notch are still not aligned, replace the variable valve timing actuator.
    • If, when turning the crankshaft, there is a hitting noise from the variable valve timing actuator each time the cam passes the fully lifted position, it means that the actuator is not secured. Replace the actuator.
