Sounds like you have multiple issues. I would suggest you go to the archives and check 'timing chain stretch" lots of info on that and timing. Do you have a Haynes manual. It covers most things fairly well. Most folks use the drip method for timing although I use the bubble method because thats how I was taught. I could not get the Easley method to work very well either. Anyway check out those archives and let us know as you can get the basic info down then if you get hung up someone will be able to help.
