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.

Yup and you will likely have to rotate the wxhaust cam into position once crank is at TDC and intake at 2

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.

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.
