[QUOTE="fourvalvegt, post: 7661800, member: 48651"] its pretty much connect the dot. and the tensioners can be collapsed and held in place by a paper clip too. you will also need to lock tite every bolt you put in that has anything to do with timing. you should also have the keyway in the 12 o clock position because it is neutral, as far as the chains go the smaller chains are marked seven links apart so it would be like this + = = = = = + for the marks. the long chains they are exactly 180 degrees apart so you just pull the chains out as long as they will go and mark the two end links. if you are using stock cams there is a 3/8s drive in the back of the cam that you can use an extension and a breaker bar to rotate the cams. the cams should have the keyway pointing straight up if the heads were lying on a level surface to make timing easier. i dont know if this makes any sense or not, it does to me because i have done 100s of cams the key things to remember are use plenty of locktite, paper clips are used in the tensioners until timing is done. play connect the dot, and double check everything. once its all done rotate the motor by hand a few times. i usually do about 4 crank revolutions so the cams spin 2 full times and you can make sure no valves are hitting the pistons [/QUOTE]
