[s-cars] Timing gears

[Trevor Frank]

I looked into this a while back, I even had the manufacturer interested.
When I asked the list I got only a few interested and the manufacturer
wanted quite a few units before they would consider a special based off
of the 16v unit.  It is possible to modify the 16v vw gear if you want.
The only thing is adding a feature for the cam timing sensor.  If you
have a distributor then you are in good shape, or an o34efi.

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?
