what kind of lubricant should i use for VDI valve? PICS
this was kind of stiff before i took it apart. i tried some gear oil but that didn't seem to do much, the first thing handy, i'm assuming this will something specific. Appreciate any suggestions, need to put my car back together!

Take a scotch-bright pad and clean the interior UIM surface well. Then do the same to the black rotating assembly. It can get quite gunked up and it's not immediately obvious to the eye. Make sure the bearing allows the assembly to move freely. Then a light spray of machine or silicone oil and reinstall it.
Mine was so stuck I had to use a hammer and punch just to get the external arm to turn (once I had removed the solenoid). In my case I was just wiring it full open for my track car (which never sees the lower rev band) but I did end up pulling it apart just to make sure it was pointed in the right direction.
