If it is any consolation it is not just the comp gears that have the problem. I just had the exact same thing happen with my Cloyes unit. Dowel pin sheared just in front of cam. Luckily the cam didn't spin on the gear, so no damage to 0 miles 511 Shelby. I have disabled the adjustable timing by having a machinist spin me up a tool steel pin that locks everything in place. From this point on I will never have an adjustable cam gear. It could easily have cost me thousands of dollars and most of my sanity.
