Default Two piece timing cover- Who has one?

I was curious if anyone uses a two piece timing cover in their car and if they have ever done a cam swap using one? I'm thinking of doing a cam in my car this fall and I think this cover would be a good addition. I am sure I will want to change the cam a few times as I am very fickle when it comes to my cars road manners.

When changing, how easy is it to make sure the timing marks are lined up?

Thanks

I dont think I have the time and patience for that. I barely have the time to do the cam swap, never mind fabricating my own parts.

Thanks though.

I have one, Its useless if you have a chain guide or tensioner, you cant drop the top gear down low enough to get the chain off.
