I sent Jake an e-mail and he says that the deviation could be caused by worn tensioner strips but could also be caused by numerous other reasons including being set like this from the factory

So job # 1 will be to drop my oil and inspect for particles in the filter & oil.
Can anyone confirm that the tensioners can be inspected for wear by removing just the cam cover - or is that being too simplistic?
