Timing chain issue.
Started out as an oil leak on the lower time case, that needed to be fixed. Car was running well and strong.
During the process off getting the bolt off the crank I had removed the oil pan to put a pieces of wood between the crank and housing. (Later did the starter method, way better) Anyway as I looked at the oil in take I found metal and plastic bits, this ended up with the chain guide at the top and side being in a big mess, top was missing and the side guide was broken up.
Great so I got the new top and side guide, tension rod and pulled all the parts off. Fitted the chain back on and now have the diesel effect with the engine. I did do the alignment thing with the cams, however I think that with putting in the new side guide I found it hard to get the chain on to the crank.
So my question is how do I setup the crank to TDC and get the cams adjusted to the right settings.
The chain looked straight when I first tock the covers off, now with the new guide it has a slight curve to it and this was the issue of getting the chain on the crank.
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
