[Healeys] Vernier timing gears

[A H List]

Offset woodruff keys are available and achieve the same result at a
fraction of the cost. Downside is you have to figure out out the right
offset first, then buy the key, then wait for it to arrive, then
continue on.

A hydraulically adjustable on-the-fly vernier timing gear would make
the Healey engine a very different beast. Hmmm, interesting project.
VVT. Anyone ever done it?
