Cam deviation after new pads and chains
 
Hi all. Got my car back about 2 weeks ago after major overhaul at the specialized indy shop "Autotech AS" here in norway.

It ended up quite the job and waiting for chain tensioners in the mail, the car ended up there for almost two weeks. Fantastic shop and incredible customer service. They did:
- IMS and RMS
- Variocam chains and pads
- All chain tensioners and the plastic ramps
- Clutch and flywheel
- All seals and O-rings on stuff they had open
- Belt tensioner and one of the wheels for the Polyrib belt.
- Brake fluid
- Servo fluid

I asked for a readout of the cam deviation on warm idling engine after the job, to have a baseline for later. It cam back with Bank1: 0.39 degree crk Bank2: -1.45 degree crk.

I was a bit surprised to see bank 2 so far off after new chains and pads, but i know its well within spec but i just figured they would both be around 0. My question is just if this is normal that bank 1 and 2 are so far apart after a job like this?

Ok, thanks :) The reading comes from the shop. Don't know what tools they are using for diagnostics.

judging off the looks of the interface, that is 100% a topdon scanner
