Was only using a small 10mm spanner!

And 15Nm is feck all, with a spanner you can torque it to way more.
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

A short one too!

So 10cm leverage and my puny strength can be more than 15Nm?

I think I could get more than 15NM by strapping a small spanner to the end of my todger and watching Rachel Riley on countdown!

15nm is absolutely nothing!

Where all my moneys went.

Then you should use it  :wink: things may not be snapping.

It probably snapped due to the force in the cam from the valve springs.

Hence why there is an order things are done up.

I believe the end cap broke because I didnt have the dizzy say in the end of the cam properly.
Now I swear I did but it must have slipped out!
So I was trying to wind it in thinking that rubber ring seal was making it tough to push in etc. when actually it wasnt seated properly!
Yes stupid mistake!

Yes the end cap nuts were undone! And the cap moveable.
