I didn't know where else to put this thread, so I put it here. Well, I think AEM CamGears blow. The bolt on my cam gear won't tighten. Well, actually it will, but it always gets loose after a bit of driving. So now paranioa builds up everytime I hit Vtec.
Anyone else have a bad experience with AEM CamGears?
i always heard they slipped, i guess that would be the reason why...
I tightened them all right before I went on my drive. Rolled around and ripped it up 8400rpm style a few times... Then I later check my camgear... Loose bolt, thank you. Luckily it didn't come off.
Have you ever felt that you're loving the single life because you can mingle with any girl you meet...even the ones that are dating people...but at the same time...you want a damn girlfriend. That's what i feel
i heard a lot of people call them AEM tru-slips or something like that
they are infamous for slipping, as they only have 3 screws to hold them in place, whereas STR and Skunk2 have 6...You can get some real nice STR cam gears on ebay for a small song and a dance, you should look into them

I haven't tried torqueing them to spec... Because I don't have a torque wrench, nor do I know the specs. I just tightened them as hard as I could. And I put threadlock on the bolt that kept comin loose.

the AEM cam gears have always been junk . they have slipped on us too many times. took em off and got better ones. I think we replaced them wit STR's. its been a few years.
