Variable cam timing

[jfaubion]

     I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Slipping the crank gear 
     will retard the timing of the cam in relation to the crankshaft not 
     advance it. I'm not a Mechanical Engineer, so maybe I'm missing 
     something here, but I don't think so.

You would have to have one on both the cam and the crank.  Slipping the 
crank would counteract slipping the cam.
