The timing chain on the SOHC motor is easy to set. First, before you remove the chain, rotate the crankshaft 90 degrees clockwise past TDC (top Dead Center) This lowers the pistons to the middle of the cylinder block so you don't damage any of the valves in the head. Proceed to remove the timing chain. When installing the new timing chain, rotate the camshaft so the mark on the cam gear is at the 12 0'clock position. You can use a 3/16 drill bit to line up the camshaft sprocket with the locating hole in the cylinder head to be sure the gear is in the correct position. Rotate the Crankshaft Counter-Clockwise back to TDC so the mark on the crank sprocket matches the timing mark cast into the block, be sure when installing the chain, all the slack of the chain in on the tensioner side.
