I used red stuff i believe. first time i didn't use it and the cam gear fell off and i bent a few exhaust valves. it was a bummer.

I just looked on the back of the Permatex card and it said for camshaft sprocket bolts to use High Temperature Permatex part number 27200.

I think i'll go with his suggestion..last time my buddy had installed a cam he had problems with the blue not holding...he went to swap the cam and the bolt was 1 thread out already loose...I thought blue as well but red would make more sense

The blue is not rated for that high a temperature. Just don't over apply it, or it won't set-up right.
