So after the rebuild and fitting the engine back in it was time to turn it over to get the oil pressure up before connecting the coil packs and fuel system.

This has been a total rebuild of the heads, vanos, new sh bottom end due to scoring of cylinder 3 I think. Found x3 coil packs down back on it Wednesday. Full write up with pics to follow

No it was a silly error as the cams are marked at the rear. E for inlet and A for exhaust and should be clearly seen when at tbc on both banks.
We found this out afterwards, engine fires and runs sweet as now just have to sort a vanos rattle and put the rest of it back together
