6615, AEM Cam Gears

Can you use lock washers with these gears to help them to NOT slip? The gears only have 3 bolts!

I think they recommend you to use Lock-tite after you have your gears set the way you want them. What are lock washers? What do they look like? Mine didn't even have any washers at all...

man i have had these gears on my car for a year now, i adjusted them like crazy, i never get slippage, why is everyone so trippin on them slipping, just tighten them to spec and they won't slip, if you don't spend the time to torque them correctly then you deserve to have them slip and tweak all your valves

I think he means tighten them to spec., to avoid slipping.

yeah I made it here (UAE) on 10/29. the flight was not as bad as I thought it would be, well they searched the hell out of me in SF Airport, but that's understandable, I had no problems in London airport whatsoever tho.

anyway I am still waiting for my car to be here, it should be here in 3 weeks or so (damnit I can't wait)

oh I am driving my cousin's car untill my Eclipse gets here, it's Maxima, and let me tell you this, those cars are not as slow as we all thought, the thing picks up hella fast and goes easily to 140 mph in no time.
