Wayne, I have had these in my 3000 for 13 years now with no problems- they do 
the job

Hello,

           I am getting back to my Healey 3000 engine rebuild after two years.  
I bought the Roller master vernier timing gear set from Moss at that time.  I 
have previously used the Roller Master gear set with multiple key ways to 
adjust the cam timing with no problems on other rebuilds. What I don't like 
about this set is that the cap screws used to clamp the vernier gear to the hub 
are not very robust. Working in aviation I have AN-4 bolts that I can replace 
the cap screws with and safety wire them to prevent slippage.  Has anyone using 
this kit had problems?  I could keep the cap screws and Loctite them. This is a 
street car, not a race car. Pictures are one bolt installed and the hardware 
side by side.

Wayne
