Very helpful pictorial Doug, thanks! I think my ITD is Ok at least the roller cam part looks more like your new one than the old one, smooth, no grooves. My main concern was front to back play of the " intermediate shaft" if I have the terminology right.
Spec is 0.05 to 0.12 mm and I figure I have 0.39mm.
You didn't replace the brass bushing on that shaft did you?

I wonder how my roller coaster part survived? Seems impossible with the VP damage. It looks like other than the bearings which went to the oil pan, all the parts of the VP stayed stuck towards the front. Could this mean the VP piston seized and held out of the way and it wasn't destroyed by the
ITD?

I think I would be crazy to try to replace the intermediate shaft bushing w/o having a garage or half the tools I need and only evenings to work.
So I can either
Install the new VP, fill up the oil and see where I'm at.

Tow to a garage and have them asses the ITD

Any thoughts? Professional or amateur advice appreciated

I did turn the engine CW with the PSP, which I've never done before. There were no snags
But a cyclical easy, harder, easy, harder. This is normal right?
