Mercedes had offset cam sprocket keys just for that
purpose...blueprinting the engine.
Fiat had the cam sprocket attached with 3 bolts, aftermarket sprockets
were available with slots, and Alfas and Porsches had adjustable cam
sprockets.
ZDJL and N9 just have a keyway.

Subject: XU9J2 Performance Variation
Hello,
I have two '91 405S with the autobox. The performance difference is
staggering. Both engines have excellent compression and have been
maintained well (since I bought them).
One person has told me that he's seen similar performance differences
among many makes, that many times it's in the valve timing. When I ask
why we can't change the valve timing, the conversation ends.
Any comments or other observations?
Thanks.
Bill
