Not kidding about the loctite, I've changed the cams twice before and always used loctite, yesterday changed cams again and for some reason I didn't use loctite, well after about 15 miles this morning one of them worked it self loose, lucky I had the tools to adjust it on the road and made it home. Checked and loctited them all, in the past I found that once there set they don't loosen or tighten and are trouble free.
