Kind of curious, I resealed the timing cover on my S50 and pulled the chain tensioner for the Vanos and pulled the gear. After the reseal I kind of just put everything back together without checking to see if I needed to clock the Vanos system at all. Did you have to do anything of the sort? I'm still in the middle of my swap so I have not ran the engine at all.
I had to turn the vanos sprocket a little to get it to mesh, then use the tool to turn the exhaust cam and pull it into position. If you kept everything in time you should be good.
What's the driving motivation for using RTV instead of a gasket on the rear main seal? Have you had good luck with RTV not leaking for a longer duration?

Rear main has the metal gasket, I'm running no oil pan gasket - just RTV. I've had good results with this in the past.

Okay cool. I kept the engine in time and did have to rotate the Vanos to mesh so good to know.
