anyone ever have cam bolts back come loose?
i forgot to bend over the tabs on the little plate that holds the cam button on the nose of the cam. i tightened the bolts well and was wondering if it is worth the truoble o go back in (new one piece pan and timing cover gaskets) and bend them over. the guy at the machine shop said he has never seen cam bolts come loose. what are your thoughts? do i let it ride?

Re: anyone ever have cam bolts back come loose?
I had a set of cam bolts shear off last year.
Why? Probably because they loosened up...
Could not find a cam bolt lock for a gen VI so red locktight it is.
Gaskets are cheaper than belt valves...
