I might be able top help you, Jim. I have a spare at Work I'll put it on the strain gauge to see how many ponds of force it takes. But it may not be until after the Holidays.
Thanks Fred I'm working with a turbo shop in Pa that is trying to find a replacement actuator. But most are smaller in size which affects the spring pressure needed.
Fred,
No problem, my car is mostly sitting right now anyhow Getting lifter noise on cold start-ups on the driver side. Think that it's the front cam botton or missing the grove in the front of the cam Looking at some HotAir blocks local to start new
