I have not started it yet ...but there is definitely a difference in performance as valve timing is different than what is expected given the pads are worn. On mine it had a very rough idle. this is common when valve timing is off.
to be honest my p1324 was not due to these pads as they were not terrible. but the exhaust cam was definitely out of spec which can only mean the chain skipped. it had original non upgraded tensioners .
car is outside and I have A few minor things to finish off before cranking it. it's currently raining and I have to lift the Ac comp. so I can get final torque on the upper tensioner.
the real reason for the replacement of those pads is if they break after getting too thin a piece can get jammed between the sprocket and chain and your engine is toast
