Default VVT Actuator/Cam gear
I need a VVT actuator/cam gear in a hurry. I have a track day this Friday and I just discovered mine is bad. Please PM me if you have one in working order and can ship tomorrow afternoon (5/19/15).

I had a rattling noise so I used a sonic tester to trace it to the VVT components. I pulled the cam cover and found that I could move the VVT cam gear without moving the gear (which you're not supposed to be able to do according to the FSM).
