The marks on the crank should line up every so often though unless you have spun or skipped teeth on the lower crank gear... There is a certain number of links on the chain between the yellow upper Idler gear and lower yellow crank gear alignment marks. One side of the chain is longer...so it would be possible to have one mark not in place (lower) the one you can't see...If when the dizy was pulled & it was at TDC...(piston fully up)...but not on the compression stroke. That is what I'm thinking...I'm putting The top cam chain in place...But the crank chain is off...Not skipped...marks still align up that we placed...So in other words...think I need to pull the cam gear chain off..spin by hand the engine over till yellow mark #2 comes up...line it up with the dot on the idler gear...or count the number of total links..long side..&..between the factory marks...to determine the placement of the marks with the lower cover on...this is providing the chain was set correctly in the first place and has not slipped.
