Hi all, I recently replaced jackshaft and camshaft tensioners/guides. I wasnt able to keep the cam from moving as I read in other posts and Im pretty sure the cam moved when I had to remove the sprocket (left hand). Engine will turn over by hand using the crankshaft.

Assuming chains didnt slip on anything else, is there any way to adjust the timing while only removing the valve cover to get at the cam?

Anyone tried this and could explain the process? (Finding TDC..going from ther?)

Thanks!
