Cam deviation at 6 after VC pads done

[flmont]

What did the pads look like, worn down or not to bad,.?

Have you looked at your fuel trims?
Have you compared fuel trims before the work with after?
Have you compared fuel trims bank1 vs bank2 ?
Positive fuel trim on bank1 could point to the cam timing on that bank not being spot on.

As cam timing gets farther and farther from the Ideal set point (deviation).
The engine will begin to use more fuel.
It may be very slight, but you may see it in the fuel trims.
Since it is four cams and two banks you can compare bank 1 to bank 2.
I think you stated that bank 2 has zero or very little deviation.
If bank 1 is at I think you said 6?? you should see it in positive fuel trims on that bank.
Long term trims is where it will show up.

They were well worn.
