Wow - strange problem. If you don't mind me asking, what is 'spec' on the cam gear bolts? Since all adjustable cam gears are aftermarket, I'd guess those specs vary from manufacturer to manufacturer?

Either way, I'm really glad to hear you found the problem. Many thanks for keeping us updated!

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
