RE: [T3] + - cam gears

Jake stopped using the lock washers, and uses locTite alone now.  I did
contact him and verify that, and cleaned the threads with brakeclean before
applying the stuff and torquing the bolts.

Yea, I sure wouldn't want those to loosen!

One more thing to keep in mind: You don't EVER want those bolts to 
come loose on you. Make sure you use LocTite, the proper lockwashers, 
and the proper torque. Make sure the threads are clean before you 
apply the LocTite.
