While we're on the subject of cam gears, anyone seen, heard, or experienced cam gears slipping?

I know the CS gears are incapable of slipping by design (no bolts) but, I've seen some on belt-driven cars (4G63, Mazdaspeed3, etc.) that have slipped and caused valvetrain/piston damage. This makes me hesitant to install something that, if it slips, will need (at the very least) the VC pulled to repair...

(this factored into why I have always bothered to pay the premium for JWT cams)

I wonder what it's like to actually "finish" a car. I've been trying to finish this car since 2011. Finally back in Huntsville, AL.
