I have a cam deviation of -9.13 on bank 1 and 0.62 on bank 2. Thought it was probly the cam chain tensioner pads needed changing. I've read about it and I've perused Wayne Dempsey's book but I really don't see how one can do this without dropping the engine out of the car (maybe this winter).

Out of the car it seems fairly straight forward.
Does anyone have any actual experience with this?
Cheers, -James
