Default Max Pitch diff between blades?

Please help me out with this...

Given identical locations what is the max diff in pitch between blades when mounted in the same blade holder?

I am seeing 3* + on the new Woodies I have.

A little history:

I am relatively new. Had a boom strike the other day and put my Raptor 50
back together... Spindle mainshaft blades links boom and belt, all new.
I took it out today and started to check it out and the first thing was that the blade
tracking was way off...

What I found...

I mounted 2 separate pair of carbons on the head and the pitches from blade to blade were virtually identical. + or - < 0.5*

When I mounted the Woodies, one blade would hold at 0* while the other would be -3*.

What does everyone say? Send them back? Or adjust the head for better tracking?

Thank you...
