It also costs a lot more than a timing chain set and takes a considerable amount of time and some machining to set up.....all to go backwards in technology sixty years. But if that's what gets your rocks off by all means do it. As of now it's still a free Country.
Here comes Larry…LOL or there goes Larry!

Gotcha - I interpret the keyway in the RM instructions as a reference point only - the important part is the dot on the cam gear. That being said, until you said it I never paid attention and didn't realize the edge of the keyway slot in the cam gear lined up with the dot.

The first time I degreed the cam in someone was walking me through it as it had been 12 years since I last degreed a cam . And I just lined up the cam like normal and went about it.
This time I was by myself so I was looking at everything closely and I noticed the discrepancy in the instructions. It held me back a day and I just decided to run a single keyway non roller anyway.
Thing is, I could not even get a hold of Rollermaster to talk to them about their instruction mistake.
While Cloyes tech will pick the phone right up.
Screw Rollermaster, Cloyes all the way.
I just bought another 3/4 flat link set on E Bay for 35 $ It looks like it has a steel top gear too.
I looked back at the paperwork for the Elgin/Morse chain I am running. It cost me 10 $ !!

This is directly from the old PZs link in a E mail resetting your password.

PY is the best place on the internet for Pontiac folks.
