Sorry for the hijack, but as the question has been answered… I have a little TF as well as my beloved tractor, and have given some thought to having it converted to VVC. Haven't looked at it hard yet, but I always assumed there would be a mechanism in the cylinder head to rotate the camshafts, using solenoids or oil pressure, necessitating a head change…

For the conversion to be carried out, does one need a lot of other things, eg this manifold, and maybe a different ECU?
