Your piston tops aren't gold, is that a different coating?

Man, that's all much to purty to run. LOL
@ak diesel driver , yes, it's different but does the same thing, designed for nitro and exotic fuels, the biggest difference I think is cost...

Piston tops look like a flat earth color like on would put on a firearm......
Getting closer.....
My checking lifters..
Some have said or guessed the NLA DSG gear set had advance built in, I can confirm it does NOT.. the cam specs I have turned out to be exact with the gear set, but a few hours later and a key assortment that's changed....

1. Nice to see your progress.
2. Nice to see more misinformation getting put to rest.
3, My DSG gear sets were a different color, almost like you have a coating on those...haha
Advancing very accurately needs to happen when Using longer pushrods, longer rocker arms, taking advantage of valve reliefs cut into pistons, etc. But from factory there is a huge room for error because of timing chain stretch and plain old assembly line build. Is there a range of advance you can say is safe for stock piston/rocker arm but with gear drive?

@Will L. , I can't answer that question, folks need to understand the piston chases the exhaust valve, and is a very close race ... advancing will gain exhaust clearance, and should add to bottom end torque, while retarding will give more exhaust clearance and should gain torque in mid to higher rpm's... when deciding how a person want the motor to act everything matters , and I don't just throw any aftermarket part on without checking the what if's. I think very few if any take the time to make small changes that change this motors behavior...
