Default 16V Cam Gear Bolts...

I can't remember and can't find the post where this was discussed, since these tend to come loose if not installed properly do I install them dry or with a little bit of oil on them? I'm using new bolts btw.

Thanks

I've put thread locker on it just to be sure.

I put blue thread locker on the bolt threads and the mating surface of the cam pulley to cam,
the 16 V cams have issues with spinning on the cam snout so anything that can reduce this issue will prolong the life of the pulley/cam.
That said, make sure to use heat to remove the pulley,
dont pry on the side of the pulley as the cam snout can fracture
