Are you going to "Polish" it in place?
I'd be tempted to expose the process to a very strong shop vac to reduce the
probability of any swarf falling down into the TC cavity.
(rags stuffed into the cavity under the Timing Device ,first of course.

In Hindsight, after looking at the old pictures I took of the slightly used TD
mayhaps yours doesn't look so bad...

I'll see what I can do to make the 186,000 mile Timing Device visible sometime
this weekend.'should give a better comparison.

In comparison your Roller has a definite Burnished (Polished) appearance VS
the "New" roller

I am coming to believe the "Ramps" on the TD have less Brinell (Hardness rating) than the Roller on the VP.

[I 'll tell you what,I'm going straight to 15W40 Synthetic after seeing these.]
