The vacuum pump housing is split right off the bolts. I think that might of been the problem...
Luckily I have a spare VP. The spare engine is NA, so I now have a turbo cam and towers in the mail. Junkyards are not essential businesses but ebay is! (Not a criticism! We should have locked down weeks--or months--ago. Thousands more people would still be alive and I wouldn't have been driving last week.)
More pictures to follow when I have time to tear into it this weekend. I now have ridiculous hope that the chain is still set right on all the sprockets and all I have to do is bolt the cam on and check...who's got a favorite article for checking/setting pump timing though?
