Re: Variable valve timming

["Dan Brideau" <dan@hobbyetc.com>]

I would think that advancing the cam would require
more effort than retarding it.  The bumps on the
cam doing their thing are naturaly resisting
rotation.  I don't think there would be a
signifcant increase in belt tension, so long as
the adjusters were set correctly.
