Humm, I'm not sure that would be a problem as the eccentric would go in the front crank, which is only the timing chain ring. The bigger problem is that it is limited to outboard bearings. The Lambo is old fashioned loose bearings with square taper cranks. A better idler pulley is a lot cheaper and easier.

Bingo!
