Default Valvetronic Motor

Just replaced my valve cover gasket but while I was in the process of taking the valve cover off, and taking the valvetronic motor bolts off, the valve tropic motor just popped out (I've read where others have had the same thing happen). Is that normal? And when I put that motor back on, I've read where you push the ignition button without starting the engine to reset it. Is this true or how do you put the valvetronic motor on successfully?

That happened to me too. When you put it back in, screw it in and tighten the bolts that hold it. When it comes time to start it, don't, put the ignition in run for a minute and you can hear it resetting. Turn the ignition off, do it again, then start the car. You should be good to go.
