I'm working on taking pics of all the options. Redrilled stock gear, offset-bushing modified stock gear, Kent adjustable gear (shown here http://www.opelgt.com/forums/showpos...8&postcount=19 ), Piper adjustable gear, and TG Motor adjustable gear (I don't own one but can get a pic). All of them have their ups/downs, but they are capable of returning the cam timing to stock if excess material is milled from the head and/or block. When the milling gets very heavy it's a good idea to shim out the hydraulic tensioner or your timing chain will have too much slack as well. Like this:http://www.opelgt.com/forums/showpos...8&postcount=48 and this http://www.opelgt.com/forums/showpos...9&postcount=49


I have used these methods and it worked perfectly on a circle track Opel that had .015" milled from the block and .105" milled from the head. That's almost 1/8"!
