Not to hijack this thread but since we have some IMS experts here, I can't resist to ask:

My 2002 base is reading out of spec cam deviations, -7 & -8 respectively.
The deviations are constant, with no fluctuation, at idle or any other RPM.
Both deviations get slightly larger with engine warm-up.
There has been no junk in the oil or the filter (I've checked at every oil change).
There is no start up noise indicating failed tensioner(s).
The engine is running fine!

What is cam deviation? Camshaft, both intake and exhaust, deviation relative to crankshaft?
How is the deviation measured?
What could cause cam deviations to change?
How can it be corrected?
Can the car be driven in the meantime?

TIA
