I finally got my car all back together and now i'm trying to get it in time and it's not working. I cant get the crank timing mark at 5 o'clock and the cams at 2 and 10 by using the marks on the chain. The arrows on the cams are at about 11 and 2ish when the crank is at 5 and if I move the exhaust cam to 10 then it isnt on the mark on the chain anymore. I was wondering if you have to use those marks or if theres an easier way to do this. Any help would be great.
thanks

 

Are you putting a wrench on the exhaust cam and persuading it into the sweet spot while a friend slides the exhaust cam gear on? Thats the easiest way to do it.

 

read the 300hp build book it will show you whay to do

 

I would Also Like to know the answer to this question subed for answers

 

This, and it won't quite be at 10 until you put the tensioner in.

 

scroll down read chapter 6

Yep the build book is what I followed when I did mine

 

putting the tensioner i has nothing to do with the timing gear position

 

I have that 300hp book but I cant find it. I talked to a guy at GM and he told me just to get it at TDC and then just match the marks on the cams with the marks on the chain and I'll b fine. Does that sound right? Also, when I went to put my cam sensor back in it isn't exactly straight up when its at TDC so I was wondering if that would matter. thanks

 

That is how I did it. I have it together right now I'm just not sure if its right.

 

The links and triangles should line straight up, as well as the mark and colored link at the 5 o'clock position. Triangles should be in the direct center of each link.
