This particular sprocket has two sets of holes, as a matter of fact I had to use the non-stock set on this one to get the correct timing. There are some timing sets that have a cam sprocket that is infinitely adjustable or you can use offset key on the crank.
ok... had to use offset dowels on the 4 cylinder ford kent engine I did up when I was in my 20's ...fitted a fast road cam, freeflow exhaust and ported the head and that was fun...the gearbox lasted 3 weeks before the extra power and revs wore it out!
is that what the cam timing is supposed to be? If it needs adjusting how is it done, offset dowels, or slotted sprocket?

Transmisions always seem to get the worst of a new engine. ;-) Cheers!
