Re: Timing Chain - Correct Timing
You can turn the crank and top cogs so mark on top cogs and bottom cog all match up with the coloured links on the new chain. Then the tensioner put back on and all should be ok if you did that and all links lined up when you put it on as you said then alk will be ok
