i have removed the cams to replace tappets, cam bearings, new gaskets and all belts.

one of the bearing cap studs has a loose thread so i tightened it down with two nuts and then thread locked them. i managed to get it really tight in the end though do you think this will be ok?

also, i have reused some bearing cap nuts as they are only 12 months old.

i am having to do this all over again because i bought cheap tappets off ebay the first time and now i've replaced them with ina tappets from matt lewis.

many thanks and all the best to everyone!
