97 legacy gt - ej25d - Cam gear bolt torque specs?

[fullCircling]

Does anyone know the proper torque specs for the 17mm bolts holding the cam gears? Also, how do you guys like to use the old timing belt to get the gears to stay in place? Got good info? Plz post it up!

I've always just impacted them on. I know it's not technically right, but the only ones I've ever torqued to spec loosened off and almost fell off.

That and my friend who does tons of Subaru work told me just to impact them, and I know he's done more than I ever will and never had a failure because of it.

im using threadlocker blue to keep em from backing out. nothing was loose when i took mine apart, lol the drivers side was kind of a bitch, though. oh wait, i just remembered i have a factory svc manual downloaded! ill post them up in a sec for archiving...
