Have you ever bought Skunk2 cam gears and had the bolts be VERY loose after opening the seal?

You mean straight out of the box?
No, mine were tight

That's what I thought. My friend's Skunk2 cam gear bolts (at least three of them were loose enough to fall off) were very loose.

If they were sealed in the packing, I would not worrie about it, just be sure that they do get tight and stay tight.

I honestly can;t remeber how mine were.

I know we should of but we didn't check to see if they were tight. Three fell off after they were installed and his exhaust timing was advanced 10 degrees. They should have been tight from the factory since they were sealed. I guess you live and learn. He is calling Skunk2 tomorrow.

B_CRUZ!
