Also,
Do you know if I would expect these numbers to be off more if pads had been compromised / deteriorated badly or is just telling me that the actuators themselves are doing their jobs cleanly?

The 25 degrees is how much the cams advance when the Variocam actuator kicks in.
If your starting out with 9 degrees of negative Cam deviation due to the pads being compromised or worn. Then when your Varocam system kicks in your really only getting 16 degrees of advance on the Cams because you are starting out 9 degrees retarded.
I hope that makes sense.
The actuators seem like they are working fine. The issue is you are starting with the 9 degrees of late cam timing=deviation.
