I 100% agree with him on that.
How long have you known this friend? Personally, I would have a hard time trusting "TRUSTED" shops when it comes to engines.

I wouldn't EVER use loctite on the main bolts that hold the cam gears to the cams...hell they are darn near 100ft lbs of torque as it is...
Yea you are right. If torqued to the right ft lbs with a torque wrench that isn't cheap, nothing should be backing out.


Man just hearing this...makes me feel like strangling someone and im not even YOU. This is one reason why I don't build my sr. Just bought a avc-r turned up the boost to 1 bar(s14t28). Installed a SAFC, tune and done. Making 235whp. Plenty to get side ways. I rather have a motor that lasts long and is easy to repair then expansive stuff that can blow and all your money going to waste.
