no locking of the crank , just watch it , if the first cam is pinned it cant turn clockwise , but if its pinned 1 tooth off and you tried moving the crank clockwise and it turned of course that's not right,

Actually that sounds like a good way for me to test and make sure its pinned good before moving on to the other cams.

Thats just not working for me. I turn the crank to 45 pull the chain as tight as I can to the driver side. and start the whole procedure for 2 hours. Then when I get to the last cam and I put the tensioner in it pulls the crank 4-5 degrees off. everytime it also pulls the passenger exhaust cam and gets the pin stuck. I tried to hold the crank and it broke the pin holder location and it a chunk of metal almost fell all the way in luckily i got it out. But I still cant figure out how to get this **** all set up. What am I doing wrong? Also when you turn the crank to 45 there is so much play it can jump 5 either way real quickly so i dont see how I can get the chain any tighter for the first side.
