I have run into a problem here. I replaced the timing chain. The old one was sooo loose it was hittting the guide then the guide was hitting the tensioner. Made a loud almost knocking noise. Anyway, I put a new chain on. I go and rotate the crank to TDC. Align the cam sprocket marks. However, this is not coming out right. If I line the marks up it is not totally TDC. If I move it either way it is off. Linig the marks up I would estimate being off on the crank 1/4". I tried it this way and nothing. My compression is down and no fire. I haven't tried to move it back and start it. Could the lines be off on the sprocket?
Here is a summary.
1. Moved crank to TDC
2. Align the marks on the cam sprocket
3. If I line them up it throws me off TDC.
4. If I try to move it back a tooth it won't line up.
5. Cam lobes facing down at TDC
6. Punch mark at the top of cam sprockt at TDC
7. Adjust valves at TDC at .006
What I am doing wrong here? Or what could be my problem here?
