Or should I say, should I have used Loctite when I installed my cams? I installed my cams a couple weeks ago using the how to on the Evomoto site. shourtly after installing the cams & making sure the car started & idled fine I began the teardown of other items being replaced (clutch/exhaust/manifold/etc.). The car has not even been driven since the install. I'm getting clost to having everything else done & the car back on the road & was thinking to myself. Should I have Loctited the cam caps/gears? There was never any mention of it in the guide & this is the first set of cams on any car I have done or seen done so I don't know for sure. I'd rather do it now if it's needed rather than have an issue later. Let me know what you guys think. Thanx.

 

No. If you torqued it correctly, you should be fine.

 

I torqued everything to the specs on the install instructions & didn't see any Loctite residue from the factory. I just wanted to make sure before I started driving it.

 

make sure you loctite the clutch bolts ...pressure plate. Especially if it's an exedy twin or more discs

 

Now that I did do. Just got the clutch installed Sunday. I put Loctite on the flywheel & pressure plate bolts. Thanks for the heads-up though.
