So, the VTC Intake Cam Gear seized due to "lack" of oil lubricant. Lack of oil lubricant would imply to me that there was a severe shortage of oil quantity. Was the car 3 quarts low of oil at the time of seizure? Have you or they added 3 quarts since the seizure to see it come up to full on the dipstick, or how do they know that lack of oil quantity is the cause of the seizure?
