The other issue is are you absolutely sure the cam timing is out? The motor has to be hot, not idling in the garage until the temp guage goes to "normal" hot. It has to be taken out for an hour drive and caned hard hot. Ridden hard andput to bed wet hot.

Bank one timing on my car would easily vary 2 degrees from cold to hot.
