I've used it on my own car and have had NO issues with the cam journals. But like i said it has to be a VERY thin coat. Still anaerobic is the best to make damn sure everything is right. Thank you for pointing that out, i forgot to mention that. I'll edit the how-to.
Well if you look at it this way, every cam that is installed should be installed with adjustable gears. So you can tune your power band for how you want it. That being said, if you compare the $50 for the 2.0l cams verses the 350-400 for cranes or Crowers, 50 isn't bad for some cams that will make power IF tuned correctly. The 2.0ls are designed for mid range torque on a smaller sized engine, which gives you better gas mileage since the car is making its power in RPMs that MOST people drive in. The cams are bigger but the cam timing is different. If you adjust the cam timing on the car you can shift the power band more toward the top end. hence why at straight up 0,0 the engine will gain torque yet loose top end.
