Thanks for the post!

Can you take a photo of the shaft threads? This would be helpful.

I know it's a tight space, hopefully you can get a clear shot of them.

Thank you for the additional photos.

It is strange why the cam keep un-threading itself from the motor shaft, I haven't seen this particular problem before.

If the Loctite didn't do it, I would use JBWeld as long as you don't mind making the connection permanent. This would do it.
