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.
