was the way i set the cam to the crank correct? just by lining up those two mark on crank an cam?
If the chain didn't come off the IP sprocket, it's properly timed with the crankshaft.

Your problem can be the camshaft timing. Firstly, the camshaft mark is on the #1 tower and must be aligned with the thrust washer notch behind the cam sprocket.

This mark represents the zero degree crankshaft position for TDC of the #1 piston on the compression stroke.

The question is whether the IP is in phase with the camshaft.

Did the camshaft ever get removed from the engine during this process?
