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.
It's all good man. FYI, the stuff from the dealer is a giant tube, way expensive and hard to get a hold of (dealerships only order by the case!). So if they don't have it, they probably won't order a case just to sell you 1 tube or at least mine wouldn't. You can pickup small tubes of the Permatex stuff at your local CarQuest/NAPA/etc for just a few bucks.

Great writeup though! It's always nice to give back to the community.
