I think Cliff said it best when he said even experienced builder’s mess up with those multi key timing set! Easy to do when the instruction are crap!

I have had a cloyes 3 way timing set move cam timing 8*, which means the 2 different crank keys changed it 16*. Instructions said it would move it 4*, or 2* at the cam…Freaking ridiculous!

I read between the lines, as if the center notch is straight up and the cam has the built-in advance or did not need it because it was symmetrical in the first place. I for example am using an asymmetrical Cam. Anyway, the notch to the right and the one to left of center is 4 degrees each at the Crank and therefore 2 degrees at the Cam in each direction. Mikes 2 cents.
