From the pictures Ive seen they have only three bolts holding the gear in place. With only three there is a greater chance of them slipping which could result in bent valves. I myself have aem another three bolt design I wish I didnt buy them because of that (but hey they were only $50). You might want to try the skunk2s they are six bolt design and cost about $200 for both.

In general the more retaining bolts the better but if you absolutely must have a cam gear with fewer bolts loc-tite em and it should hold well.
