If I recall, i cut the cable tie off the car, then installed cams chain and adjuster as a cohesive unit.

Seems to have worked fine, think the problems I am having are unrelated to that item.

I would think if you’re more comfortable leaving the cable tie in place until after the cams are installed in the car, that would be fine too. I kind of liked having the cam adjuster sprung to hold the cams and chain in place so that nothing slips on installation.

I would say this one is personal preference but that’s just me, someone else may have a more valid reason why you should do it one way or the other.
