Amazing solution to the stock cam bolt struggle
Buy these right now if you are about to disassemble your EJ257!
Luckily when I took my engine apart the stock 10mm hex bolts that hold the AVCS cam gears to the camshaft came out without too much fuss, 2 of them were close to stripping, but if you've done any amount of research on this topic sometimes they strip out and make it a bear to drill/cut/melt them out resulting in possible damage to your camshafts/cam gears.
So I went ahead and got these super robust high quality cam bolts from TiC to prevent any chance of stripping the stock ones out in the future when I go back in to upgrade my camshafts.
