I did verify full travel using the sprocket tool and made sure to catch the first tooth on the intake cam. I haven't checked with compressed air yet since I don't have the necessary adapter fitting, but I will try that next. I suspected the solenoid was an issue, so I got a used one from ebay, but I don't know if either of them are good. I've read they can look fine on a bench test, but fail to actuate the vanos spool valve when installed.
Do you happen to know where to get the banjo / milton quick connect fitting?
Edit: I found the fitting. it's BMW Ref# 113450, Vanos air connection fitting
Also the engine idle does not change when the vanos connector is disconnected. Seems like either something is funky with the m52 wiring harness adapter or the solenoid isn't actually working.
