IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Do not use impact wrench/gun to torque cam gear to camshaft.Torque cam gear bolt to 22 ft lbs. Aftermarket cams are chilled cast and require a lesser torque value than the OEM/factory steel cams. If using aftermarket gears, make certain the cam gear bolt is able to engage 3 to 4 threads into the body of the cam. Thicker gears will cause the cam bolt to only engage the threads in the snout, increasing the chance of breakage.
