I know it seems like alot of work but to be safe I would put the stock ones back on and see if it does the same thing. If so then you know it is another issue not the cam gears. I mean for as much as we pay for cams and what nots I think it would be a safe idea that won't cost you any money, but a little of your time. That in itself would be worth it if you wanted to be sure everything is good.

OP, I'm not a huge fan of that wobble its hard for me to to give you a deffinate answer as the vid is hard to see. If you can try and switch out the bolt and the cam gear so we can see if it is the gear, the bolt, or the cam. I don't think its possible for the cam to be offset drilled/tapped (they are CNC drilled and then checked in a jig to prevent this) but i wouldnt count it out. If it is the cam id almost lean to the fact that it could be bent (this can happen but its really rare, they ussually will break if its dropped in shipping). If your all the way in Okinawa we need to do a bit of trouble shooting before we send a cam across the world to try and replace it. I'll shoot you a PM to see about giving you a call so we can talk about it instead of shooting PM's back and forth.

just got off the phone with Greg. And we now have a plan of action and see where we go. If for some strange reason it got damaged/bent during shipping he said he would take care of it for me. Anyways stay tuned....

that very well could be the case. As a matter of fact Greg suggested the same thing, and I am going to change the bolt out on saturday as the mitsu dealership did not have this bolt in stock, and I will be double checking things,and replacing it this weekend with a new OEM bolt. so stay tuned.

Ok problem is solved. I never thought a 12MM bolt could be bent..but sure enough it was. I got a new OEM bolt, and torqued it to 72 ft-lbs again, and problem is solved. Thanks everyone again for their input (and that means you too curseddsm 
) and Greg at GSC for having a great product and customer support.
