Duh, of course. Why was I thunking reverse? Backwards must mean you

Well, as I said before, with a Spitfire or GT6 that's not an issue!

I woulda' thought the Europa had overhead cams adjusted with shims.
Except that it was just a Renault engine after all, right. Or was it

talking about setting static timing?
So many questions.
