First time was a low rpm misfire, this time it was a high rpm and went through the whole drop engine photos back and forth. there is wear on the cams but not measurable.
coil packs showed signs of problems though, most of them were black where it was shorting out the side, i think this surprised them more than anything else, but maybe it was just a bad pack of coils. i wasn't on the recall for that.
i left with all new coils and hit 9k on the freeway, instant misfire but this time on 2 different cylinders, only one repeat offender
so far i have had misfires on 3 cylinders and some ****ty coil packs. they have the car again, expecting to know more next week

Wonder if you'll qualify for lemon law at some point.

If you've got that number down, you're basically good to go.

That looks terrible! Thanks for posting this pic. I'm a bit surprised that the cam lobe is contacting that shim so far off the edge of the darker central area, which I assume is the intended contact surface. It looks as if the contact area goes all the way to the edge of the shim. Would be interesting to know if that's the intended contact area, or if there was some alignment issue with this particular shim.
Actuators and that fixed the problem.
