no idea yet, its not an unheard of issue on built motors apparently. The aggressive cams seem to wreak havoc on the timing systems unless you take precautions. Going to a modified gear that uses a the crank keyway in addition to the pin and getting a stronger timing chain tensioner. Also, the tuner noticed a rattle from the head that we thought was the VTC actuator going out but now I'm not so sure what it was. Either way its going back to the engine builder
