I simply do not understand why this keeps coming up on the on line forums: Cam shaft nut torque- 100 ft/lbs ??? That's about double what is actually required to keep that nut tight. And if your installing a fiber gear, all you are doing crushing the hub unnecessarily. Is this published in some document? Please enlighten me!
