Thanks (?) for that JFP - I pity the poor guy who ownes the engine in the lower pic.

I've just been down to the car & checked a related (I think) parameters on my Durametric, labelled:

"Actual Angle Camshaft Bank #1" and "Actual Angle Camshaft Bank #2"
Bank #1 was fluctuating between 0.3 to 0.8 *Crk @idle rpm.
Bank #2 was steady @ 0*Crk. @ idle rpm.

Help - is this starting to look ugly??

What do you guys recommend - remember we don't have a Jake Raby lookalike here in Australia, & while I can & do service my Boxster without any problems, getting into camshaft timing can be fraught with danger which I really don't feel comfortable with......
