    Yea, i think the m42 cam gears are slotted. But I wouldnt go messing around with it, unless you are really trying to dyno tune a motor to extract everything.

      e9nine has done it. I believe that all you have to do is take the valve cover and the cams are right there. Unbolt the cam, adjust and rebolt it.

      I plan on doing it sometime. Probably with his help. ;)
