Thanks for the help.
This might make me sound like a newbie, but can I assume that the first lobe is the one closest to the front of the engine??
I'm trying to follow what you’re saying but you loose me when you say "pointing almost to the flat porsion of the valve cover gasket surface"??
I currently have the head installed but have not put on the camshafts or idler sprocket. Could I not turn the crank so #1 piston is at tdc, then put the lower chain on the idler sprocket. I would then put the upper chain on the idler sprocket, count 14 rollers going counterclockwise to the exhaust sprocket, then count 14 rollers to the intake sprocket, then count 20 rollers to the idler sprocket to make sure I have everything correct?? I would then turn the crank slowly by hand to see if I get any resistance as a double check that everything is ok???
Would this work??
