I had cam deviations of 5.x and 7.x. Local indy who is the big local Porsche shop said not to worry. I took the cams and variocam out and the pads on the 7.x side literally fell apart when I removed the chain. Cam deviations now are in the 2.x range. Replaced pads and chains on both sides. The photo is of the pads on the worst side.
