Resolved 20V Camshaft alignment

[Eric Huppert]

Chuck,

Thanks much for the call! Am sending this back to the list as your
attachment didn't come through for whatever reason...Next person looking
should be able to find it with a search  I don't spend as much time on
Audiworld as it seems to be geared towards newer stuff, but will keep it in
mind next time I panic!

Believe I'm indeed one tooth off!



Cheers, Eric
