Dam, those are a long ways apart, and I don't see +4 or -4 just the triangle and square. Probably need the original directions or contact them. Guess I'd start with the center one, lol. But not likely going to be able to advance 2° on the cam with that timing set

The keyways ARE a lot further apart than 4 degrees. However, there is also an entirely different "dot"/keyway on the cam gear to use with each position on the crank gear. If you use the triangle "dot" on the crank gear, you better use the triangle "dot" on the cam gear too. Otherwise, I doubt the engine would even start and/or you'll be replacing bent valves.

You really may be as ignorant as I think.
Pay your tuition, you might get educated.

Now I see the problem. Next you will tell us you were an Australian native that moved to Canada............ :)
Phucking Canucks, aye!

Gotta love Dan Mercier's accent on TV when they interview him, full Canuck accent on display. I used to talk to him at E-Town when he was racing his Nitro-Injected TAFD at our track, was a cool dude. Good to see him make the leap to TF and do well.

So, if they named the Windsor engines for where they are made, and the Cleveland engine for where they are made, why doesn't GM do that? The LS engine would be named HEAVEN! :)

Definitely lots of hate for Canadians in this forum, lol.
And it's eh !
So that means the camel hump heads were made in .....👳‍♂️

Yeah, many years ago I tried to change my cam timing a bit, but didn't move the cam gear, only the crank gear. Got 16 new valves after that........ :)

This doesn't make any sense to me. I'll have to investigate. My cam gear only has one dot, and my small brain can't understand how adjusting the tooth position of the crank sprocket would effect that valve events that much? Im not physically moving the crank more than a few degrees when using a different keyway
 
It would appear to me that the dot has the keyway in center of tooth.

The square has the tooth behind the keyway (advancing valve events?)

The triangle has the tooth forward of the keyway (retarding valve events?)
