i jus set it in place and let it dry, i just made sure it was in the direct center of the cup, i let it dry for aproxamitely 14 hours, jus to make sure it was completely dry. when i reinstalled it, i immediately felt a diff, seemed like i lost a bit of low end tq and gained alot of power above 5k. i also had my techy friend put my ecu into learning mode and bump my timing +2 degrees.

you should move the rod... its a precautionary measure. Whats the point of fixing it if the rod is now stuck in the closed position. If you open the VIAS up, you'll see that the rod inside the VIAS unit is attached to a bearing. You dont want that stuff to be stuck. Also, the longer you let it dry, the better chance you have in the long run of this stuff lasting.

i would check for any shavings in the cup. just by design, i dont see how it can be fully intact. i would use some jb weld as a preventative measure so you dont have to take it apart again when you do have a problem.

Wally World, hardware store or anyplace that sells auto parts. JB Weld is the name. Fixing stuff is the game. Go on and buy yourself some.
