## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They did their job
*by B***E on October 1, 2018*

I used beisans vanos kit for the rings and seals but it did not come with the needle bearings so I ordered this just for the needle bearings. Can't see them in action because they're in my vanos but my car runs very nice now and no vanos rattle so I'm happy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, though definitely way overpriced
*by D***D on May 27, 2018*

Stopped the axial movement of the vanos gears. I didn't have a rattle as mine only had 127k when I did the repair but after 6k miles, they seem good. Regretfully all these anti rattle "kits" are super overpriced and it's ridiculous. $74 for a couple washers seems like something the stealership would do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cost😊
*by A***R on August 18, 2020*

Product and cost were great
