I think a half deg. could make a noticable differance. I also use light as indicater of port open-close glad to see its an accepted method
I do have some RB WS7-II/III models and all my messured timings are the same with a list published online at first-racing so I do think it is accurate. Also I do messure the exhast height wit a caliper and the distance is indeed comparing with the angle (there is also a comparing table somewhere online).
I also have done 3 degree mods and had no issues....
