With the new seal sometimes it wont squash down and it will stick up a millimeter which throws the cam sensor off by that mm and throw the code. Both banks need to be within 12 degrees of the crank shaft rotation. The front covers need to be loose when installing the valve covers. I tightened the valve cover then the front cover and still had that mm. Once I accounted for that mm on the wheel it went into time. It only has to be adjusted a very small bit. If the hole matches up with the factory inspection hole just move it a small bit. I moved the wheel about 4-5 mm the first time when it should have been the one mm or less. That was my problem.

I find that when I do timing covers with new seals I uses a screw driver through the cam sensor hole to apply set pressure of the cover and tighten the bolts down so all lines up perfectly. Works every time.
