That's all covered off in the procedure updates as well.
Beyond just that. In my case, one piece of sealant was found partially blocking one passage in the cam carrier. Oil pan was dropped to check the pickup, and the pickup tube was boroscoped from the timing cover side, and nothing was found. Error codes were for the RH intake timing area, and they replaced cam sprocket (twice), ecm, intake cam, cam carrier, head...and the problem remained.
