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

Subject: [Healeys] Vernier timing gears
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.
