81789, Problem with Fidanza cam gears...
Posted by Justin99RS, Oct-16-04 06:30 AM
fucking bullshit IMO..
ok, so i've had a set of fidanza cam gears for the last 2 years now. have had no issues until today.
i am driving, and suddenly i hear a semi-load tapping/clacking/clicking noise...sounds almost like valve tap...when i get home, i pop the hood, the noise is loud and comming from around the cam gears..i turn it off only to find that 2 of the nuts are gone and a 3rd is very loose, but its the stud itself that is loose, i get it as tight as it will go- which is barely holding because it just turns...so now i have only 2 of 5 nuts holding the cam gear in place...i hope they don't slip...time to email gary.

Try to find similar bolts at a hardware store and use loc-tite. And yes it is bullshit that it happened in the 1st place.
