Btw, a cam pin sheering off isn't going to cause this if they were installed properly. The cam pin is only there for alignment purposes when installing the gear, and does not hold the gear onto the cam. Once the cam gear is installed you could cut the cam pin off and it won't have any effect. This problem was caused by not properly torquing the cam gear bolts. Anyone who knows anything about cams could tell you this.
The ONLY way this could be a problem, is if the cam pin was a little too long causing the bolt to not torque to the gear properly.
But my guess is, whoever installed them screwed this up, it wasn't the cam itself. If the pin was too long, you should have noticed this when installing the gear. Again... lack of knowing what the hell you're doing. If you paid a shop to install them for you, thats even worse. Cause not only did you sign those checks to pay for the cams but you had to sign one to have someone half-ass install them.
This man speaks the truth....Plus I have never heard of this happening to others so who do you speak of? Sorry your word is not good enough for me.
