Okay- so got home and checked timing and its dead on.

So pretty much ready to start putting everything back together now, I am just curious what yall think of my exhaust adjuster on bank 2? I forgot to attach the clamp to that one when I was re torquing it down- in my defense TIS never shows it on that side in the instructions..

Everything rotates just fine- honestly I think these splines were sightly off when I took it apart too. But I am not sure if you can tell from the pictures- bank 1 is absolutely perfectly in line and bank 2 is just slightly off. Again everything rotates just fine.. But my OCD is arguing with me now.. I did order 4 new bolts when I thought I had f'd up the timing, but I can return them... Would yall loosen this one, clamp those splines perfectly straight like bank 1, and run that same bolt back in? It has already been stretched once then final torqued... Or I could wait a few days and do that and install a new bolt. Or just put it all back together beecsuse its fine and im being crazy?
