    Stripped the front of my car to replace the timing gear with new alloy timing gears. Put the whole lot back. Been driving around for weeks since.

    A few days ago I realised couldn't remember using threadlocker. Then I started thinking that I might not have torqued the cam bolt up correctly.

    Now have the terrors that my cam bolt is slowly working itself free behind the timing cover.

    I either put that fear aside and drivea, but I risk engine failure, or I have to pull the front off my car again, strip back to the timing gear, and torque the bolt back up.

    Either option is a massive pain in the ass.
