timing issue
Before installation, if the exhaust is set at 10 with red link and intake at 2 with blue link would I need to move anything else? I heard something about 12 position before.
There should be 3 timing marks on the chain. 10 o'clock for the exhaust sprocket, 2 o'clock for the intake sprocket, and 5 o'clock for crankshaft sprocket. All 3 marks on the chain should line up with those in there positions.
Yeah the valve springs will hold it sort of close but off a bit, I usually get the gears on the chain in position and rotate the cam until the gear pops on, put a bolt in it and you should be good.

Guys.... I know my stuff everyone ive contacted has said different things. Ive been told to remove the timing cover and some say not to I'm replacing anything just timing it. No new chain
If you are still that confused, pull the front cover and verify that the bottom mark is on. It takes all of 5 minutes to pull the front cover at this point and you can be 100% sure that you are doing it right.
