I don't see replacement of the chain ramps which I thought was the primary cause of cam deviations. This is a major task requiring removal of the valve covers and made much easier by removing the engine. My understanding is:

Get the car good and warned up, and check the deviations.

+-6, but steady - in range.
Greater than +-6 but steady, out of range due to chain pad wear
Not steady, possibly ims issue causing the reading to bounce around. Bad.

After all this work, what are the new cam deviations?

And what kit is the "Ims oil line kit" for >$1000.

The time to ask for consideration is after an inspection and before the purchase is finalized. And a reading of 14 would certainly have set a check engine light. You want the buyer to have a good experience, but you sold the car in good faith, in my opinion you have no obligation.
