This is very interesting. I see most of your guys' pictures aren't too off from original positions. During my valve adjustment today I noticed mine are WICKED off. 177k miles on the engine. Previous owner replaced the timing chain at 90k.
Pics:
I think that's a little more than 3-4 degrees!!
Would this sprocket replenish my timing marks if they're even this far off??

Will definitely be picking one of these up in the near future.

Got mine installed yesterday. Figured since he was somewhat near the general vicinity (replacing my tct) may as well try it too. Thanks Alex!
Alligned, I should of taken a before pic. It was off by a few degrees.
The new gear. Kept my old one, going to wear it around my neck.
installed

Did you check to see how much your engine was off by any other methods besides just looking at the crank pulley??

Install advice on one of these? valve cover, rocker/cam assemblies, then remove the gear with everything in place? All I can find is full timing chain guides, not just a gear install with the engine intact.
Also, I see an adjustable gear is made now for only $40 more. Would this be worth it over the non adjustable one for precise timing mark tuning?

What would be a typical labor charge to install one of these? I'm more interested in fuel economy savings and longevity of the chain than the power benefits, that's just a bonus!
also, any chance for a package deal if purchased with a tct as well?
