Xflow cam timing offset dowels.
Hi All, anybody got some of these left over from timing there cam. Looking for 2 to 4 degs offset, (not exactly sure which). Beer tokens at the ready.
Thanks, Ray

Hi, dead right, but have just fitted a new fast road cam, and using the OE set up can't get it timed right, (4 deg's out) as its a cast in
key, and key way, (not adjustable). So had the idea to grind out the key, drill the chain wheel and camshaft end and try to get the timing correct
using the Xflow dowels. Don't know if that will work, but worth a try. Regards Ray.

Could your file out the keyway in the pulley and then shim the gap to get the correct timing?
