Default Precaution, timing job

OK, I just wanted to inform everyone, When your doing your belts, Double check your Keyways, Especially for the camshaft, I had a Damaged cam collar and got a used replacement that was also damaged. Talking to Lart, He noticed the same keyway damage on a couple other collars, IF this keyway is damaged It can effect ignition timing, So if you have the time I suggest everyone who hasn't to check it out. It wouldn't be a big problem if the woodruff key fit all the way into the keyway of the collar, but if you look only about 1/4 of the key fits into the collar, right where the damage is. Anyway, Just a reminder for preventative maintenance

To add to this, my timing was so far out because this piece was damaged, is was pulling 1 in/Hg on idle! The car barely would start up. It was nasty.
