The problem I have with the idea that the offset key goes on the crank gear is this, When you get one of the timing sets in which the crank gear has three key ways in it, so that you can either install it 4 degrees retarded, straight up, or 4 degrees advanced,are all 120 degrees apart on these crank gears. How is this offset key, which is only offset <1/8", going to achieve the same result? I am sure glad I am not in a hurry to get this engine finished.
