Just thought I'd throw this out there.....

Has anyone used eccentric timing idles to zero their cams in as opposed to vernier cam gears?

they're like this:





crawfords blurb:

"For changing timing, we recommend using one adjuster for fine tuning 3-4 degrees. Moving the timing belt one tooth on the cam gears will net a 7-8 degree change. Then using the adjuster will allow the user to fine tune above or below that 7-8 degree change.

For those who have changed the math from the OEM specs of the long block - ie using different thickness head gaskets, using decked heads, using phase two heads with a phase 1 block etc - Using two adjusters will allow you to ensure timing is accurate, and each side of the engine is working harmoniously.

***ONE ADJUSTER IS NEEDED FOR ADJUSTING CAM TIMING ON OEM-SPEC LONG BLOCKS***

***TWO ADJUSTERS ARE NEEDED FOR SITUATIONS WHERE THE MATH OF THE LONG BLOCK AS BEEN CHANGED - THICKER HEAD GASKETS, DECKED HEADS...ETC***"

LIC Motorsport has the same thing (in their own branding):







Thoughts gents?

Please discuss.....
