a friend of mine has done his first bit of home spannering on his m2 and messed it up .

chris and myself are going to have a look and try to fix it tomorrow but need zsome tips

he has pulled off the cam casing but never took out the bolt in behind the timing sensor so has pulled out the cam that is attached to the casing which in turn has ballsed up the timing

chris has had a quick look and the timing bowl ( not the correct name i know but that,s what he called it) it wont separate from the cam so the hole thing is currently one piece

1 )does the timing bowl come off the cam

2)does the cam come off the casing

3)how do we get the timing back to where it should be

4)how hard should i slap him

thanks in advance

Yes.
Yes.
RTFM
V.hard.

Yes always. Maybe twice or more.

V Hard. Maybe not to hard. We all have to learn I guess . I would think he is not the only one to have Fecked something up before.

As a yoof I used to break most things I touched with a spanner. My big brother used to beat the shit out of me when I did it though, so it was steep learning curve.

In my view, pain and Education should always go hand in hand

Bugger im in Tech again

Wondered about that nervous eye twitch and nervous laugh

We all screw up except folk that do nowt, the skill is in back peddling

At least you had access to spanners! - My dad has never moved past adjustable spanners. Good one mind. Still has it.

In his defense he's more of a woodworker.

Wouldn't he find a chisel more effective

You try tightening a carriage bolt with a chisel! - knackers the edge.
