I have read the tech tip...
I bet that's exactly what happened.. the spool valve looked perfect inside but it very well could've been replaced.
As much as I'm trying to avoid pulling the cam, I think I'm going to pull the cam adjuster apart and see if the vanes or housing are damaged inside.
Definitely not covered under any warranty since it came from the auction and currently belongs to a used car dealer.
