So I tried cam timing as per the instructional (thank you Bill) but hit a bit of a bump and would like some guidance.
First the chain does not freely move from side to side. Meaning I cant give it slack on one end to be able to pull some on the other like this poster did:
secondly when I did fish the chain through the head to one side to see where the links met up I was like four links short of them being able to be linked together. Is the chain getting bound up somewhere?. It looks ok on the guide rollers and sprockets in the head. Maybe underneath the head. I'm at a loss. Also the tensioner is removed. Thanks a heap for any help/insight.

gaillarry said:Got the cam timing on the proper marks and the lobes are in the right direction per Bill Lanes' article, and the rotor is on the LT mark. Now ready to link the cam chain but looks like the joint will be in the middle of the head. So I have to rotate the engine so I can put the master link in. Will this throw off the cam timing if I move rotate the engine????

Figured it out, just lowered the chain a bit to drop down into the crankcase and was able to move the chain to I can put the link on.
