I don't have enough experiance to make that call. My guess is it is just the right thing to do to loctite those cam bearinga in. Also there have been some issues with water weeping into the motor, and some form of cerramic sealer was run through the block and that stopped it. I will ask Chuck again about that ceramic sealer so i can do that as well as a little sealer around the water passages on headgaskets.
