#72037, "Camshaft Sprocket Screw Question..."


          

Im Putting on my camshaft sprockets and the front one ill be able to get torque fine but I cannot fit my torque wrench into the small space to torque the rear camshaft sprocket. Would I be able to put some JB Weld or red Loctight onto the camshaft sprocket screw and use a regular wrench and torque it as much as I can? What other methods are there to do this? Id perfer to not take off the camshaft again but If I have to I will.

If you're talking about the bolt that holds the cam gear to the cam shaft, try this. Take out the passenger side engine mount, and use a jack to jack up that side of the engine. It should move high enough to give you the clearance you need. If not, you may have to take out the drivers side engine mount as well.



Lets just say this... I'm over 100whp and soon to cross 200whp. Thanx 2GNT! Now if I could only learn to prove it.

That same method worked for my car several times and I've had no problems emoji

Yup same here, a friend with the trans in 5th stepping on the brakes helps a lot to hold the engine still.

Also, for the love of God never JB weld a bolt in, it will never come out. If you want to use lock tite I would go with the blue stuff, nothing too strong to brek free in the future.

I put on some blue loctight and got them as tight as I could, I think it should hold fine. Thanks for the help!

Take out the cam and have the cam gear welded to it. That way, it won't come off. Ever. Put the cam back in, and throw out the cam cap bolts, too. TiG weld the cap to the head. That way, you will never need to worry about them coming loose, either.

Who needs bolts?
