Hey guys,

Over the winter I replaced my variocam pads and chains, along with the 3 chain tensioners and various other items. I retimed the engine using the very slick timing tool and rotated the engine several times to verify it was spot on. I hooked up my durametric yesterday after a 1 hour drive to see that bank 1 was at +6 cam deviation at idle, bank 2 is at zero. I did drive the car around and saw at one point that bank 1 was at 3 degrees but at idle it returns to 6.
I did check it last year before the work was done and i was at -9 cold and -6 after a 1/2 of driving. Bank 2 was at zero. IIRC.
Engine has 100K(60k miles) and is very smooth and runs beautifully.

Did i do something wrong?
