Had a quick look through the previous posts. Going to give you some advice to hopefully save you some time and effort.
1. Swap the OCVs from left to right, they're identical. Log again. If the problem (aka the lagging side) hasn't switched sides? The problem isn't in the OCVs. And obviously vice versa, if it has switched sides.
2. It could also be the cam sensors. Not usually the culprit, but might be worth considering. You're after the lagging side. Really annoying to get to without removing the manifold...but if you're good with your hands might take you 30-60mins to replace with a known working one and see if that changes the readings. Loosen the manifold bolts and get someone to lever the manifold up, while you scrape your knuckles trying to swap the sensor (it will just fit), or just remove the manifold altogether.
3. Finally - if the problem is the cam gear - cleaning the gear rarely works. Unless you want to risk doing the timing service twice, it's probably best to replace it with new the first time.
