Cam Timing adjuster?????

several months back (march) i got my head gaskets replaced and ever since the car has been making whinning.. noises upon acceleration... approx 20K - 30K rpms 20mph to 40 mph... and pretty much constant when im going 70-80 mph on the highway.... for some reason i didnt think much of it.... i thought it just may need an oil change... i took the car to a indep mb mechanic and he said that the cam timing adjuster was not timed properly...

so... before i call my SA at the dealership i want to try to find info on this? ive done a search and nothing has come up...... any of you have any insite on this?

-Thanks
charles
