Timing chain replacement problems

[FutonMonkey]

this all started with a simple timing chain replacement. rolling the 1st new chain in, went with out a hitch. but when i went to put the new link in, it didnt fit, the holes in the chain to small. i was cheap and ordered the jap made one from autozone, they dont offer a master link for this chain.

so i ordered the proper german chain and master link. i rollered the 2nd new chain in, got about 3/4 through dropped both ends in the engine and it went right down to the oil pan. i got the end back out the top and 1st new chin out. but managed to completly through the cam out of timing, thats another story for another time.

i got the crack to tdc from the marks and set the cam so it was at the tdc mark, put her back to gether. she wont start.

any advise?
