    If you had to buy a bunch of offset keyways, you can spend more than the adjustable pulley.

    The engine is all done and the milling of the head retarted the cam timing just a bit which is a good thing to improve top end power. The engine hasn't been started yet but I am confident that it will run well. I don't however expect to have a powerhouse on my hands as the cam is still stock! Aftermarked cam not in the Lemons budget!

    Default 2.3 cam sprocket

    Jim,

    As I told you early on, the cam sprocket is virtually wasted money. When milling the head, the timing moves exactly as you want it to (retarded timing), and the multi-key sprocket is not needed.

    Joeg,

    The 2.3 uses a round pin instead of a traditional key (hemispherical style retained in a grove in the nose of the cam). Ergo, there is no alternate "off-set key" to use to reset the timing.

    Good luch with the projects, guys!!
