[s-cars] Timing gears

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Mike,
I have no idea on that, but after paying 300 bucks for
my pricey ricey Tomei cam gears, I took off the stock
ones and put them side by side with the Tomei's and it
appears that Tomei takes a stock cam gear, drills out
the center, puts some notching on it to tell you how
many degrees advance/retard you're getting and puts a
few bolts in it to keep your engine from becoming a
valve salad.  (Don't forget the Loctite on this one)

Where's Trevor when you need him?
