I got the camshaft gear and crankshaft gear in phase. The camshaft gear at alignment dot at 6 and the crankshaft gear at 12. I put a piece of tissue in the sparkplug hole of the #1 cylinder. Turned the crankshaft clockwise one revolution. The tissue blew out of the sparkplug hole. Both the lifters for #1 are down in there bores with the intake lifter a hair higher than the exhaust. Crankshaft gear is at 12 and the camshaft gear is at 12 also.

So sounds like I'm good to go far as the timing chain installation is considered?
