Timing error code
 

Just bought a nice 2001 911 Carrera with reasonably low miles (85k). Getting a timing error code when trying to get it inspected and took to Rennsport in Sealy, TX (Warren is great). Appears that the timing is off, measure on laptop at 24 and should be at 7 or under (?). Has anyone else experienced this? Wondering if it was when the IMS fix was done? ....Understand that these engines are "5 chain" and it could be several different issues related to timing?

The five chain engines have extra chain tensioning wear pads between the cams that take a beating and often throw cam timing off:
