I have this set of gears. They are about 10mm thicker than the stock gear. I need a longer bolt but couldn't find one with a built-in washer. Would a regular lock washer throw off the balance of the cam?

Anyone local that has degree tools and can help me zero out my gsc s1 cams ?

I may just say screw these gears and run stock.

Don't use a lock washer. Use a light locktight.

I would use at least a grade 8 alen head bolt with a flat washer. Black type.

The stock bolts have that flower pedal shape to them which I figured was for locking. I originally bought spring washers which are very thin lock, just tough to get centered. The bolt and washer were both grade 8.
