Looks like it was over torqued and then just gave some time down the line, but could have been a defect.

. Good Luck! quick question, i know its stupid but why do put that piece on your bumper....Helps the air flow under the car. Its not being baffled up inside the rear bumper, reduces overall drag. Its kind of ugly IMO.. I would maybe do a few small ones.. but those are HUGE
maybe if u had CROWER it would have lasted
no, every cam company has defective parts, I have seen cases with every type of cam for honda motors break, even Crower.
S2 is pretty good with their products. I would call them up directly and explain your situation. i dont think they would have a problem replacing them.
did the bolt just strip out? if so, that looks like installer error. most likely, when you (or whoever put the engine together) used a 14mm wrench on that bolt and over turned it while they were putting the timing belt on.
IT WAS OVER torqued. SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME s**t SUCKS I WAS STUCK IN NJ 8 HOURS
