Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Are you sure you replaced with the correct cam, they are different on each bank? Did you lock the engine at TDC with the timing lined up on the head for that bank , this is where the rubber plugs are fitted in the end of the head where the end of the cams are?
