Does anyone offer indexed gears (fixed) cam gears for the Evo?

just use some Loctite "RED" on the cam gear adjustment nuts after you dial in your timing, the bolt heads will break off before they come out/loose

Why bother?

Can't be for looks, unless you run without the timing cover on, which isn't the smartest thing you can do.

Because there is little reason to leave them adjustable at this point given that there is a large body of evidence as to the correct settings.

But why go for new gears unless you were going to adjust them?

If you like just spending money, I have a bridge you might be interested in.

While fixed offset gears are produced for other engines, I'm guessing that they are not produced for the Evo's engine.

Ok, I know everyone likes beating everyone else up online, but calm down.

It's really simple. He wants non-stock settings, he has a specific setting he wants, therefore he doesn't need to adjust them. So, he wants to buy a fixed set of cam-gears, and probably likes the idea of never having to worry about the bolts coming loose.

dunno of anyone selling what you're looking for. My suggestion is if you're worried get ones w/ more than 3 locking bolts and use blue loctite on them. Or if you're paranoid use red loctite but good luck if you need to adjust them again. Blue loctite works for me

Oops, sorry for the trolling.

Yes, Loctite is a wonderful thing.
