im putting on my timing chain and i was just wondering if theres any special link that lines up on the bottom sprocket, (like how the cam gears line up) or do i just set it when the 1st piston is all the way up ?

Check the FSM...iirc bottom end has to be at TDC, there should be a dot on the main crank gear, you line up the chain on that one. Should be at around 5 oclock position. I just cant remember off the top of my head what color the chain link is tho. There should be silver and gold link markers. One color lines up for the crank and the other two should like up for the cam gears...

The link for the crank is the yellow link. There should be a dot on the bottom sprocket or you can count links and teeth.
some good info
