N18 timing with position of eccentric shaft
I'm in the middle of timing chain and valve stem seal replacement.
While installing cams, noticed the position of eccentric shaft is little off. Maybe a tooth off?
This is BEFORE disassembly in ORIGINAL position.
This is how it sits now.
Do I need to worry about this?
If I need to align this again, do I need to take the cams out? and re do?

That bearing cap has a physical limit stop, correct? In your assembled picture, is that gear resting on the stop? I believe when you reinstall the servo motor, you adjust it to the stop, but I think you want it resting there when under spring tension. Are all your shaft springs seated correctly?

The position of the eccentric shaft is controlled by the motor as you know. It will move as soon as you turn on the ignition. It doesn't matter if it's on the stop or not when you assemble it because the DME will move it to where it needs to be.
If you've just replaced your timing chain, don't forget to reset your adaptations.
