i was just lookin' at photos of seans ca18, and the cams have 4 bolts on them, how the heck are you guys supposed to adjust your timing with all those bolts? you have no room to redrill or press any dowels in. and also, does anyone want to count the number fo teeth their are on the ca's cam gears, and how much are adjustable cam gears for you guys?

adjustables might be easier but not as exact, im sure a ton of people would love to argue this though:D i am trying to figure out a way to make adjustables for my mr2, im thinking of just drilling in a circle 10 degrees to each side of my centering pin(dowel) since i only have a center bolt, then to adjust it i would have to tak eoff my cam covers or put a wrench on my crank.

but right now i am looking for a car that i could use the gears from with small modification since cam gears or our cars cost over $300 which pretty much defeats the purpose of getting them, for 300 bucks i could make a water to air intercooler or something actually worht my time.
