Best thing to do is keep an eye on it and monitor your cam deviations. Anything over +/- 6 degrees on either side is out of spec. One side may wear more significantly and should be cause for concern and service.
Thanks spinjockey. What’s the first sign I should look out for out of spec of cam deviations?
