Timing chain install.....need some help.
Timing chain install.....need some help. Im installing a double roller chain and some other things. I was using the ls1hot.com write up to do my install. Well in doing so I either over looked or its not in the write up and I didnt line up the timing marks on the sprockets. Its taken me some time to even find posts telling people do to this. Well I've swapped cams already and have the new sprocket on the crank. Now can anyone tell my how I get the new timing sprockets lined up so I dont have any issues?
Also the engine is on a stand so whatever way will work best is fine. This is my first go at a cam swap so this is all kind of new to me. I guess thats why I made this mistake to begin with lol.

Im not that familiar with the double rollers, but this is an easy fix. You just want your crank sprocket to have 0 pointing to 12 oclock and your cam sprocket's 0 to be facing 6 oclock. They will be above and below each other.
