Hi Janik, what engine are we talking about? A filled In profile helps, but yes would suggest the correct torque settings, bolts flying out or sheering off will lead to more expense. A small torque wrench is not expensive, and the angle tightening is easily gauged by eye from 90 degrees etc...

....and not sure why a cam belt and a cracked screen would mean desperate sale of a car? Maybe your insurance covers a new screen?

Oh, and do you gave a cam belt locking kit with crank locking tool for the cam belt? I assume your doing the cam belt...?
