Default Timing Chain Problems......

I'm on a cam install and I can't get my JP Performance double roller timing chain on! I get the two dots lined up on the sprockets and when I get the cam sprocket lined up right with the cam dowel the holes for the bolts dont line up!! I've been working on this alone for over an hour and I cannot get all the holes on the cam sprocket to line up with all the holes on the cam. Its almost like the timing chain isnt long enough, but i know it is cause I put it next to the stock one and they're the same. How many of you had had problems getting a double roller on?? Any tips? Sorry if it seems like I'm rambling, but this is the most frustrating part of the install so far....

Yeah that can be frustrating getting everything lined up and on especially by yourself. Just be patient and you will get it. If you get frustrated put it down for a while and come back to it.

pull the crank gear back off and put the chain around it and on the cam gear and slide both on at same time it should go then. read this from the other day a guy had same problem
