SBM Gear Drive Timing
@Steve Watchorn as promised...
The marks on the mounting plate were there when I got it. One of the thrust washers for the Torrington bearing was broken, which caused it. I replaced the washers and the bearing with new Milodon replacements, as well as the seven button-head cam bolts. I have the old bearing and one thrust washer, both still good, along with some spare cam bolts. The cam gear is still bolted to its hub at the moment.
This is a far more serious setup than any other gear drive, especially the dink ones. The instructions explain the setup and advance/retard arrangement well, but unlike others Milodon still exists if you need tech support. It worked great in my 340/W2/solid roller engine for a couple of years, although I didn't run it much. I never had any issue with it, I just got tired of listening to it.
If you're interested, PM me an e-mail address and I can send you more and/or higher-resolution photos if you'd like.
