2007 3.2 Avant timing
Just bought this car last week. Replaced a leaky VVT seal and then the cel popped up a day later with some exhaust cam adjustment codes for bank 1 and bank 2. I went to check the values for 93 and it wasn’t displaying leading me to believe it was a wiring issue. I swapped the the problematic solenoid with one that wasn’t throwing codes and that seemed to fix it oddly enough. Now that it is displaying values, am I close to needing a timing chain? All I know is, 8 is the max.

IMHO best advice you can get!
Your timing looks evenly consistent to positive values.
I would check the oil level (set it to max) and potential small oil leaks (which increase these readings to positive), then do the readings again.
You might get readings closer to zero.

Also, main culprit for oil loss are oil filter housing gasket and those valve control solenoids.
Make sure those are all good and sealed and you are good.
