Default Fed up with slipping skunk2 cam gears (bolt swap?)

Hey guys, I talked to Mike M from IPS racing and I asked him about if there was anything I can do with securing my skunk2 adjustable cam gears (non-pro version)

He said to get Toda gears

but he also said something about swapping the bolts on the skunk gears and theres something about it on h-t. I couldn't find anything on swapping the bolts on the skunk2 gears and I was wondering if u guys can shed some insight on this, thanks

ps my skunk2 cam gears have slipped on me twice with proper torque and sequencing

yes he will, i have done it a few times on my car and i am sure he would rather have a pain in the *** getting them off then a slipping cam gear that could end up causing him to bend valves. i know from personal experience. it ****** blows.
just use a dab of it on each bolt thread and you will be fine.
