Should I use Loctite when installing my cams?
Or should I say, should I have used Loctite when I installed my cams? I installed my cams a couple weeks ago using the how to on the Evomoto site. shourtly after installing the cams & making sure the car started & idled fine I began the teardown of other items being replaced (clutch/exhaust/manifold/etc.). The car has not even been driven since the install. I'm getting clost to having everything else done & the car back on the road & was thinking to myself. Should I have Loctited the cam caps/gears? There was never any mention of it in the guide & this is the first set of cams on any car I have done or seen done so I don't know for sure. I'd rather do it now if it's needed rather than have an issue later. Let me know what you guys think. Thanx.

I torqued everything to the specs on the install instructions & didn't see any Loctite residue from the factory. I just wanted to make sure before I started driving it.
