[Shotimes] don's cams, a report

[Ian Fisher]

If that is the case, why not exchange them for another
set? It seems like using adjustable sprockets won't
get them timed properly very easily. If they are
incorrect to start with adjustable sprockets will only
get you so far...

This is interesting. Keep us posted. My +20 cams are
installed in my 3.2 which is waiting to be installed
sometime this month.
