I'd say per side of the car for an amateur is about 7 hours to pull the cams and reinstall, so 14-15 hours total for both cams. With practice I think you could get that down to 4-5 per side.

now, my car:

actual angle on bank1 is 5-6 at cold idle, deviation blank.
Warm idle deviation is around 5, actual angle around 0.

At least its within spec now so I can calm down, but I still have to figure out what is happening. I want it down in normal range not just below out of tolerance.

I read on another site that actual angle measures the amount of variocam actuation happening, so if that is correct I have a bad VC actuator on bank1 possibly?

Any cam experts around that can set me straight?
