Mike,
Here is the problem with that piece of **** hex-adjust timing set.
I built the motor for Gene (see post above)
The cam pin is only supported by the amount the pin goes into the cam and the very small amount held in the fuel pump eccentric.
It never touches the cam gear. There is way too much shear load on the pin. and next to no support for the pin.
And, the Comp reps gave me the same bull**** story about the bolt torque.
I told them to put it in writing and sign it so I can give it to my lawyer after the engine destroys itself.
They refused.
Mike, give me a call during the day at (415) 550-4626 and I'll fill you in .
Also, take the timing set off and throw it in the garbage.
You don't want to take that risk with your engine.
--Mike
