Time to recheck the torque on the exhaust bolts (18 lbs). I know, pain in the butt, but needed now that the engine has been up to temp once. If some of the copper burned off, that will make a difference.

The engine computer will adjust the timing if the cams and crank are close. The engines with VVT will set a code if they are 1 tooth off, the 'regular' engines will need more than 2 teeth off to throw a code, and that is quite close to valve touch.

When you moved the exhaust cam back a couple of notches, move it forward 1 so there is no noise in #5 or #1. :>)

All easy to say from here... Just get the car running!!!!! No beers for you tonight!
