timing chain install ahh!
im trying to get my timing chain on and i have the crank sprocket on and im trying to get the camshaft pully on and i cant get the sprocket up to the pin that holds it on, and the pin does line up but its like two teeth off (i read the same problem on another forum) but it looks like the camshaft sprocket has to come up just a little bit, o yea and when it does line up with the pin the chain is really loose and the bolt holes dont line up. is there a special tool that i need or something. thanks

No special tools needed. It will fit VERY tight but it'll go on. I hope you have the rockers loose so you can turn the cam sprocket and cam by hand and line it up all good. If not its going to be tough trying to budge the cam sprocket with the rockers tight.

You need to start both gears going on to the shafts at the same time.

You slide it on there as an assembly (2sprockets and chain)
Best thing to do is just put on both sprockets first and line it up perfectly then it should all slide right into place
