Or, thin plates that capture 2 bolts and you bend the tabs up. That's what was on my Motorcycle if I remember correctly.It's only a "mistake" if you do something wrong TWICE....
Do you have the factory Honda manual? http://www.oscarmayer.net/atc/manuals/
Edit: the Honda manual doesn't call for using loctite on the cam sprocket bolts. I'm not an expert on motorcycle engines, but in my years of building various Japanese motorcycle engines, I don't recall ever seeing loctite called out in that application. Maybe the old bolts were stretched and just worn out? How tight did you tighten them?
Fair enough! High temp thread locker, like Three Bond TB1360, is needed for "in engine" applications.I don't care what any manual says, if a fastener is in what I judge to be a critical area the loctite comes out. Less of a problem than all that.
There was some residue from blue loctite on them so I should have used it again. Torque spec is 6-9 ft/lbs so I did 10 since my horror freight torque wrench is questionable.It's only a "mistake" if you do something wrong TWICE....

none on the cam sprocket, I probably could make on that would helpOr, thin plates that capture 2 bolts and you bend the tabs up. That's what was on my Motorcycle if I remember correctly.
If it were me, re-using that sprocket, I would drill new mounting holes 90* out, make the retaining plates, with blue loctite, (usually melts at about 300 deg F.).There is no manual for rebuilding it but I found a table some guy made for the torque specs and it wasn’t enough.
it’s only about $70 for a set of NOS valves and a cam chain along with a new set of gaskets.
