As I'm sure everyone knows our engines are capable of producing more power with a 6° exhaust cam retard and the only way for one to achieve such a value is typically with adjustable cam gears.
Each tooth on the timing belt is 7.8° so just retarding by one tooth would be too much.
After reading through the bgb I noticed the section where they go into detail on the cam knock pin adjustment and how the first two holes are for +/-2° and the other two are for +/-5°.
Would it not stand to reason that if you retarded the cam by one tooth on the belt -7.8° and then aligned it with the +2° hole for the knock pin that you would have an exhaust retard of -5.8°?
