Wht makes the ARP bolts so good for the cam retainer plate and camshaft gear? Its not a high stress area and the stock bolts are plenty strong enough

I had a truck in here (2005 silverado 5.3L) with two fugged up cam bolts last week. Kept getting a cam sensor code, low and behold the timing gear was loose due to the shitty stock bolts.

You asked a question, I answered it. I feel that if the bolts were in the budget why not? I guess your question would be the same as me asking why build a 418 when all the 408's are running just fine without any flaws.
