Now working on 4-6 bank. The cam deviation for this side was 5.3. Since it was within spec (6) I expected the variocam pads to be less worn than on the 1-3 side (7+ cam deviation) that I have already reported on (significant wear). Once again had to remove the header/cat. I thought there was enough room on the 4-6 side that I would not have to remove it. I was wrong. Once again, all bolts came out with a good dose of PB and an impact driver. One of the pads was very worn. Makes me glad I acquired a Durametric when I did and checked the cam deviations. I'm also now a believer in Raby's advice to replace the pads and 4th and 5th timing chains at 40k miles. My 2000 S has 66k miles.
