You may be right about repeatabilty on getting TDC exactly right on.
However I don't believe you or even a dyno could detect a .010mm or .010" error.
Porsche moved the SC/Carrera cam timing six degrees back and forth. I doubt many people could tell the difference.
When cam timing chains wear the cam timing can get retarded as much as 2 or 3 degrees. Tough to see that difference in performance.
I think we end up believing since we are working with thousandths of an inch or tenths of a millimeter this is rocket science. It isn't.
