I do like the easy cam degree adjustment!
I know Cloyes is highly regarded for SBC and other parts; and a Tier 1 auto supplier.

IIRC, Cloyes makes an SBC cam gear cover with a removable plate for accessing the adjustable cam gear bolts. That would be cool for LS engines too.

QTP and Edelbrock both make 2 piece timing covers for the LS. Actually, I think Comp offers one now as well.

Darn, wish I had known that yesterday. Just swapped cams and put the stock cover and balancer on last night. Broke two gear pullers getting the balancer off (had to finally put a torch on it while pulling).
Thanks for the info; I will try one of those next time.
