My cam deviations on bank 2 are off a bit more than 9 degrees. My hope is to replace the actuator guides and not have to split the block. But I figure I'm going to learn a lot once I get the process started. I get back from vacation this week, there was some delays on the lift I ordered because it was a brand new model from Stratus but I think it should be in my garage in the next week and a half and I'm going to get started.

Do you know how far deep your project's going? Are you attempting with the engine in and are you only doing the actuator guides or tearing everything apart?
I'm not sure if the guides I need to replace are the "actuator guides" or not, but I'm told they can be reached by removing the cam cover without needing to take the engine out. I'm also waiting until I get my lift haha. Moving into the new house this coming weekend and then will order the lift, so I'm probably 3-4 weeks out.
