either i'm the king of strippin bolts or someone is setting me up
 
so i went to adjust the cam gears, and decided to try -3/-1......after setting to -3, 4 bolts went in perfect....

the 5th...stripped the thread right out...

now should i be worried since 4 are in pretty snug....or should i get this repaired/get new gears{thumbdwn}

I would give Unorthodox a call and try and get that fixed!

sharkm87 May 2, 2008 03:36 PM

yea, think i may need a new gear...well it would be nothing they did, the gears were there since i got the car

I have the same problem, thats why man invented the torque wrench.

sharkm87 May 2, 2008 03:52 PM

I knew that one was coming i came in just to see if someone already said that. lmao.

sharkm87 May 2, 2008 07:30 PM

well, i just wanna make sure if i rip on it it wont slip or anything, or if 4 bolts should be sufficent.

EvoHung May 2, 2008 07:56 PM

I don't think it will slip but once you think that, it will slip on you. Don't risk it man.

sharkm87 May 2, 2008 08:12 PM

yea i hear you...damn if it aint one thing after another.....guess its time to but a new cam gear...which i dont have tools to install!...was hopin someone said runnin 4 would be ok

sharkm87 May 3, 2008 08:31 AM

anyone else have insight....i know that the hks's are 3 bolt pattern, so wont 4 off 5 suffice :)...someone make me feel good

W_evo8 May 3, 2008 08:58 AM

I dunno dude anything that messes with timing makes me paranoid. I'd get it fixed. It would probly be ok but why risk it.
