After having a P0340 problem for a week i finally ordered the camshaft sensor and got everything disassembled. Then to my surprised i found a mess at the top of the camshaft synchronizer. The picture below from user Sal619 shows what I found.
What could cause things to metal and make such a mess? Should i be looking to fix a bigger issue before fixing the synchronizer?
Can i use a torch to loosen up the extra material and use the existing synchronizer?
If i have to replace the synchronizer can it be done by putting the new synchronizer in the same position or would i need the install tool etc?
