				Camshaft deviation question
			 
 
			My camshaft deviation is steady short term, but it does creep based on engine temperature.  Cam 1 deviation (the IMS side) varies almost 1 degree, hot to cold.  It starts off around a little less than -6.5 when its cold and goes down to a little  over -5.5 when hot.  Last time I recorded the values severall months ago the variation was about .3 hot/cold.  Cam 2 deviation is about .3 hot/cold and has remained the same over time.
 
 Is this something I should be concerned about?  Signs of impending IMSB failure?  I checked the oil filter about 500 mile ago and there was no metal in it.
