I have one that was done by a Chebbie guy (actually a very skilled builder, but still) and he put the screws in with red Loctite- grrrr. I have gotten the ARP replacements pretty cheap, think it was DSC, IIRC $8 a set

If you use roller cam bearings (you have to bore out the cam tunnel and regroove as necessary) then you can use a roller thrust plate. Use the 385 pieces---although you'll have to re-locate one of the thrust bolt holes. The cam journals are the right size---but use a steel cam blank instead of an iron one.

I have the socket but usually use a large screwdriver that had a heck near the handle and put a box end wrench on that. That way i can push in while turning and not strip out the cross.
