That's my cup of spare cobalt bolts. That, and several ziplock bags. I used to have a thinner, taco bell cup, but it split open one day. The Flanagins cup's are much stronger 
They're also a good size to hold head bolts, whatever. I have a couple around the garage for specific purposes.
Do yourself a favor, get a repair manual for the car. It will detail those kinds of things for you. Believe me, you don't want to mess up the timing. A very small mistake can cause a ton of damage to your motor.

How did you take of the timing chain Did you just take it off with out marking it? Because im helping a friend with his build and if you don't put the the timing chain on right the car is not going to run right. So im just asking what yall did to know how to put the timing chain back on right.
