Just caught up. So, if I'm absorbing this right, the bolt was torqued against the cam pin and not the gear? I say this since the pin has obviously dug into the cam bolt. This would tell me that the cam bolt was NEVER really torqued flush against the gear. Wouldn't that throw the balance of that gear way way way off? I would have to agree that this started the whole thing.

I may be repeating a lot of conclusions. This is really so I understand correctly.
