I too have a 01 S (62K miles) and my cam deviation is also -5 -6 and thinking that the tensioner cams need replacing.

Very interested to see whether its just part 9 that needs replacing or some of the others as well.

I guess replacing the easy ones first and re-measuring the cam deviation is a good approach.

I don't notice any chain rattle yet on startup. I'll check my oil filter for particles as well in the next couple months at the oil change.
