Think about it rationally, in order to have any sort of timing in a geared system, you need more than one gear to have a control feature. Like your piston would have to be run off the sector gear, and the tappet plate off the spur gear.
But all the actions are performed by the sector gear alone, and so there's zero timing involved.
The phrase was used by someone who didn't understand what they were talking about, because gear timing very specifically refers to aligning gears to each other.
What your actually doing when putting the sector gear out of the way of the tappet and piston when assembling a mechbox is "putting the sector gear in a neutral position", or "making sure the sector gear isn't engaging with anything"
We know mechbox.com poorly worded it, but nobody's done anything about the video, and we're just saying, there's no such thing as gear timing lol
