Adjustable Timing Gear

After watching A 4x4 is born i was left wondering if coughing up £200 on fully adjustable timing gear is worth it? Whats the general opinion? Is the cloyes true roller non adjustable good enough? Would being half a tooth out on the timing make that big a difference?

The cloyes gear does give you the option of +/- 2 degree's from standard.

I've used them for years and found them very hard wearing.

With the Cloyes you can choose a bit more top or bottom end grunt by selecting different keyway grooves.

If you were one cog out on a standard OEM cog, then the timing would be way off and it would run like a pig.

Merry Christmas to all

I have a Kent vernier timing gear set ready to fit. Cost £140 not £200. I hope to be fitting later so will let you know how it goes.
