You do need to do this job carefully.
As H2 states, make sure you take the back bolt off and remove the spring and plunger inside before fitting.
Next ensure the push rod is fully back inside the casing before putting the body in the hole at the rear of the block.
Next tighten the 2 allen bolts evenly until tight.
Next (tricky bit) put the spring in the centre hole with the plunger inside and begin screwing the back bolt in to tension the spring inside. As you do this you will hear the push rod start to move out against the cam chain guide due to the spring forcing it out under pressure.
Ensure everything is tight.......and go have a beer !!!
