I do not recall exactly what I did, but I think I slid the phaser on the cam without the chain and rotated to where the marks should line up. I then took a paint marker and marked the location of the cam on the block. I removed the phaser, put on the chain and installed everything while making sure the cam did not rotate.

I did mine while the engine was sitting in the chassis with no oil pan and no front clip. It was pretty open. Good luck if you are trying to do it with the pan and oil pump in place.
