Changed wear pads, variation is worse

[philou320]

So I understand that you have to pump them when you put new ones or you have let them for a while bleeding out the oil but when you want to set you timing and they are still on the car, do you have to pump them too?

If the car has run for a while, meaning that the oil is supposed to have filled the tensionners and the visual control of the timing is OK it should mean that everything is Ok, am I right? so Gary, When you checked your timing, were you camshafts perfectly parallel to the seam between the head & the valve cover after -1-the repair AND after a ride?

thank you .
