In the manual, it shows lining up "EX" markings on the cam shaft sprockets while the engine is at "1 TDC" and counting chain links, but it was all a bit confusing. Can anyone offer any insight as I would like to do this as a redundancy. (I believe you count 60 or so links which should correspond with a mark on the second cam shaft sprocket) Thanks!
Follow this to the letter, and you should be fine. White and blue marks are denoted on the picture. The red dots represent the 36 pins.
