Jim K: An offset bushing won't do it for me. They can give you 4 - 6 deg. and I need more than that.

I have a Speed Pro timing gear set with a 3 keyway crank gear. But again, that doesn't give me enough.

I understand that the crankshaft teeth are 20 deg. each and the cam gear teeth are 10 deg. each.

What I don't understand is how moving the cam gear one tooth moves the cam 20 deg. I never was very good at math, but this is something I just can't get my head around.
