The pro mechanic on the YouTube video said it took him 14 hours the first time he did this repair. I think I am at about 25 hours. If I hadn’t been quoted $6500 as the cheapest quote, I might have had a shop do it. It cost me about $1050 in parts and new tools.

Things seem great. No rough start. No rough idle. No gutless acceleration. No rattle in the timing cover.

But now I need to kick of the relearn for the variable valve timing and the idle/MAF. There were a few forums that said you could try a couple of manual ways to try and trigger the relearn, but they didn’t work for me.

My cheap-o scanner tool can only do reading and clearing DTC codes and can’t initiate relearn functions. A local shop quoted me $235 for those two relearn procedures. I saw that the Innova 5610 is on Black Friday deal on Amazon for $241 the Autel Mk808s for $386.

Any comments on these two scanners, or if there is a better/cheaper option?
