Default Buddy Club cam gears

anyone have them? whats your thoughts on them???
recently i had the change to open up my timing belt cover in order for me to take apart my motor and low and behold was super lucky my cam gear didnt jump my timing. the bloody gear was held up by one bolt (normally held up by three). i will never buy anything from buddy club again after talking to some of the local guys regarding their cam gears. Even the markings on the gears dont line up. what makes it worse is the fact that i know the bolts were tightned to spec because i did them with my own hand so there is no doubt in my mind that is saying they could've been loose when installed/.

Don't know anyone who has ran them before. I'm using the Toda ones myself and haven't had any issues with slipping gears.

did you use a tq wrench to tighten them down? the only thing that took a while to get used to was the Vernier scale that the JDM companies use...

I've had them on my car with the Buddy Club Spec III+ cams for 3 years and 10k miles or so without any problems.
