M271 timing marks

Hi all



I’m in need of some advice. I’ve done my timing chain 2x in 2020 and again in 2023. First time was a complete febi bilstein t-kit including cam gears. In 2023 after 80000km Hepu TC set including balance gear. Recently full service and mot and Oil leak on bell housing and oil in spark plug Wells. Vacuum pump is ordered and we done the seals on Saturday. Gave me and my mechanic a chance to inspect the TC. All in was happy still tight no real play but I wanted to check timing marks to see if chain is stretched. When the crank pulley was at OT the exhaust cam is off slightly. Intake is on point. If you line up the timing marks to near perfect the crank pulley is 0.5 - 1 past OT. Is this some to worry about or has the chain stretched slightly. I can do basic maintenance but not completed sensitive work like TC change. Also is the tensioner is far extended would that mean some stretch also ? Other than normal cold start noise with the oil pressure, car runs as is should no hiccups etc.



I attached some pictures.



Thanks
