Guys I got the son of a bitch on finally. Can anyone tell me if my timing adjustment looks okay? Does it really matter if they are off by like 1 or 2 degrees? You can see in some of the pictures that I measured the area behind the crank gear and it was 3 inches long. So I put a mark at 1.5 inches for straight up and down with the crank gear.

Heating it up with a Heat gun does not work..LOL
thats a funny one.. I gotta remember that for the same comments as Blinker Fluid and Muffler Bearings
you have to put both on at the same time...and it helps to start with it slightly off so you can get a bolt started...Just get the dowell in the right spot all lined up and it will pull itself on when you get the 3 bolts started...
you cant mis-align the dowel if you get it on the correct link and can get all 3 bolts started...
Just make sure you get both gears pulled all the way on before you snug down the bolts on the cam.
the tightness on the double chains are both the pro and the con for it...
benefit because you dont have any slack and you never will, con because it makes it a little tougher to put on...has to go on exactly straight and both gears exactly at the same time.

From the pic it, it looks like the cam gear is right, if the tooth on the crank gear it's pointed to is 0 then yes are dot to dot.
If you are going dot to dot then you are good. If you are checking the ICL I can't say without a degree wheel.
I had a cam custom ground for my car and ended up using an offset bushing to get the ICL right. Well it was suppose to be 110 and I ended up with 109.5.
Depends on who you ask if that makes a difference or not. Hell after you start the car and run it for a few hundred miles the chain is going to stretch some. So what is the initial measurement worth then?
That I don't have an answer for. You'd have to ask Damian, Tony M, Pat G or on of the other guru's on here because I don't know.
