Ignition timing not matching tables

[h2.4]

At idle I'm having 5-8* of timing when the tables are 18.5. I've looked through the ignition compensators. Only thing I have found was Accel smoothing that is showing 31.75* or retard with a/c off. Is this normal to have timing pulled at idle?

Look at idle Tab
Idle ignition compensation retard.
and
Idle Ignition Control - Range (Max advance)

This is normal as the K-Series has ignition controlled idle.

Ok, thanks I zeroed the retard out last time I remember. I will look into those, or just leave it, upon you stating that it is normal.
