Yes I removed the camshaft gear and the chain that links the cam and crank together. I then turned the crank over not thinking about the timing chain not being installed. So I was thinking as long as the piston is TDC that I would be good to install the timing chain. Then I started thinking that I didn't know if it would be on a exhaust cycle or compression doing it that way. I know that the camshaft gear turns one revolution to the crankshafts every four.

So I started thinking and pretty much lost confidence that I knew how to get things back on track.
