JFP may be quite busy looking after customers. I would definitely heed his advice. In my amateur opinion/guess, The misfire problem code could be independent of the cam deviation. You have to consider the possibility cam deviation is not necessarily the cause/ putting out that code. There maybe an independent misfire issue.
You might want to investigate the chain tensioners they are probably clogged up.....get them replaced and see what that does to the cam deviation....the deviation is pretty high though!
I am not sure I would drive the car without having it checked first. I would hook up the durametric and keep close tabs on the deviation if you have to drive it. If it starts dancing around I would shut it down and flatbed it
....hope you get to the bottom of it!
