yeah or you skip the overpriced bullshit and take the current improved OEM design and apply Loctite 648 between the gears and the hub. Will never come loose again.

I use this compound on a lot of parts that I make to lock in bearings. IT's forgiving to use before it cures.

That's an interesting point, certainly may be worth adding to something like the VTT which still retains the OEM design.

Could be an idea to add it to the inner hub where the snout goes in and splines lock + on the crank timing gear and leave the oil pump gear as is for easy disassembly with the timing chain cartridge.

Waiting for Black Friday Sales before I buy.
