Default cam sprocket 1999 LS 400

What is the torque spec for the four 10mm bolts that secure the sprocket to the VVT. This sprocket turns the timing belt. Thank You

Default torque and loctite

Thanks for the info. Do you think I should torque to 66lbs. with a drop of red lactate. The reason I ask is that two of the 10mm bolts were starting to back out of the sprocket.

if you must, use blue. I would go by what the Factory Service manual says for sealant use and torque. Do NOT torque higher than factory specs.
