I agree. Looks like some type of thread locker compound on the threads of the bolt.

if it were darker, I'd be afraid it was anti-seize compound, LOL Good thing it's light colored.

I thought it looks like the ARP assembly lube we use for head bolts.

Send the bolt off for mass spectrometry gas chromatography....
It'll only cost you $2,400 for a lab to tell you exactly what it is... J/K Maybe a few hundred...

Hondabond and Suzukibond are whitish grey. They are silicone sealers.

Before I make the following statement...let me qualify it. I am not an engineer or mechanic. ![]() That being said. When I installed my cam-bolt(after replacing oil pump... ), I noticed lock-tite on the bolt I pulled out (cam was swapped by Vengeance). However with the torque required to install that bolt, I'm not sure that lock-tite would make much difference...but again...I'm not engineer.As far as a hypothesis....could a rocker/rod/valve failure lead to the cam 'seizing' or becoming locked in place (even for a split second) and the force of the crank on the timing gear cause great enough force on the cam bolt(and pin) so that it would exceed the cam bolt torque?

Maybe it's just clear nail polish. That's what I would use on my eyeglasses to keep the little screw from backing out...

This. None of the top LS builders use one bolt cams, they all switch the LS3 to 3 bolt style. Its a known weakness in the LS3.

I don't care how much you torque a one bolt cam, I don't like the idea of just one bolt. Some may argue that with three bolts you are removing too much material to accomadate three bolts. How much torque would it take to turn a cam with the load of all those valve springs (assuming you are not trying to turn the bottom also)?
