Oh dear !! I swear I’ve moved from one so called unreliable engine to another. All I hear about these days is fucked F4Rs because people who dont know what they are doing fucked them around.

Corrected that for you bud

Epic fail is it that bloke who fucked up cam timing on facebook? The bottom pulley doesnt slip unless incorrectly torqued up on stock engine.

...and it must have a NEW BOLT every time, they are a stretch bolt. Also genuine are much better quality and the washers are thicker then non-OE. I suspect issues are mostly going to be due to either torque like you say, or re-use of bolts.

Tjere is a spec for reuse of the bolt, I stopped measuring after about ten of them as they were all within spec. The crank bolt.of the wife's 172 has been retightened about 5 times so far and is still goimg strong. I must do belts on if though as they've been on now for over 100,000 miles as well.
