This is a very obscure question.Camshaft adjuster magnet.The centre pin on my current part does not move in and out when unpowered. Is this normal? I found a used item and an aftermarket item where the pin does move freely in and out when unpowered. Does anyone know the answer to this? Reason for removal is engine does not rev cleanly through the range under acceleration. Thank you guys.

I am now aware that this pin is supposed to move in and out freely per my photos. My next move is to replace the camshaft oil control valve as I believe that is part of the fix.
