After doing those I noticed Lang recommended to use Red 263 loctite which they included with the bolts.
I decided to pull them all out, replace with brand new Lang bolts and use Blue Loctite 243 which has a higher temp/torque rating than blue 242 and is better suited for oily environments but is still not semi-permant like the 263 Red.
I just hope the remaining blue loctite in the female threads doesn't have a huge negative effect on adhesion as I used a ton of the stuff.
/End loctite episode rant. I tend to over-complicate things for myself.
As far as the rest the vanos rebuild itself was quite easy and kind of cool to see how everything works. I still have yet to put it all back together because I orderded more cam bolts..
The other tricky part for me is deciding how much pre-load is too much for the splined shaft anti-rattle fix.
Edit: splined not spliced shaft
