I don’t think they replaced the chains just the pads which improved things somewhat but did not completely return the car to spec for cam deviations.

If you are talking about the chains between the camshafts, they have to be removed to change the pads so can be changed if you want. If you are talking about the other chains the crankcase has to be split to change them...

I was referring to the chains between the camshafts. I’ve followed this repair by a couple of different people and replacement of the camshaft chains has a significant impact on restoring the deviation to specification.
