Nope, solid. The adjustments are made with shims that fit under the buckets. It's a pain to adjust, but rarely needs adjustment.
If it's a clean motor, that's a good sign that it's not something internal. It's not a lock, but most of the issues I see come out of these sludge boxes that only got 3 oil changes while they were in Japan.
You can also check your accessories, and check for a loose timing belt.
Oh, also check your crank pulley.....especially if you're throwing belts.
For the vvt, you would just have to replace the gear to see if it's the issue.
