When I set the timing on S54 I do use the Double pin tool
meaning both cams must be aligned perfect or other wise
the second pin will never ever ever slip in but again I do
the timing on S54 the way that both pins drop in on its own
weight. So basically the timing is within ~1+/- or less.
I believe the reason the OEM tool uses Single pin is to
allow for not perfect timing meaning exact spot on with-in less
than a 1 or 2 max combined but rather up to few degrees apart
and if Check engine code show Vanos off range then Technician
must re-adjsut the timing.
My personal taste is 8 degrees is waay to much off but I assume
the DME adaptation works this out...and who cares so long
as the check engine light is Off..No wander one car feels
different than other one...
