In Reply To	OEM VTC cam gears can start leaking oil or make noise. posted by MixManMash on November 27, 2013 at 07:52 AM
Message	On the OEM sprockets, the back cover is swedged in place, and is sealed with an o-ring. For whatever reason, this swedge lock loosens over time, which allows the back cover to spin relative to the sprocket, which wipes out the o-ring. The BDE sprockets add a dowel pin to the back cover to prevent this from happening
