It seems unbelieveable to me that an 'engineer' can carry out a repair to the camshaft sprocket mounting and with no sign of a locking device/ threadlock, or at least peined so the nut does not move. Seems they could have cross threaded it at the stealers as if it was loose inside the engine it wouldn't be too long before you saw it milling its way from the inside out.!!! Let along the nut resting on an uneven surface, ( no grip).

I may as well do it, as I'm gonna get blamed for it anyway.
