Factory cable ends are plastic and can snap off, the way you describe the top as "out of synch" or "racked" combined with the described noise sounds like that's what happened. They have modified units available aftermarket that have metal instead of plastic ends, don't know if they are any better. The Bentley manual has a section showing assembly, disassembly and timing, of the three I would think getting the timing right would be the biggest PIA, good luck.
