Durametric Results

JFP, how is the chain pad wear fixed? I'll do a search as well. Pretty sure from other searches it's complicated, i.e., similar process to replace IMS and same tools are needed.

TIA.

Worn chain pads require replacement of the pads themselves. Your 01 is a five chain layout, which includes a wear pad between the two cams on each cylinder head which are the "usual suspects" when cam deviation values exceed 6 degrees.

I believe there has been a DIY write up on how they are replaced.

ok, I'll do a search for this...either way can I assume it still needs the specialized tools?

Yes, you are going to need cam holding tools as you will need to remove the cam covers to change out the paddles.
