Cam sprocket cant be attached until the chain is on the sprocket,, THATS IF I remember right,, Its been a long time,, Pretty sure thats right , tho. But, Im certain that if youll be patient, someone will come along and help you out,, And,, Yeah, its a bit of a mental twist, just dont get angry or frustrated, Ive never seen anyone get in there and, with the help here, fail to win it..
Have you checked to see if you have to go back in to get it timed?
The cam sprocket has a line, or 2 dashes, that run with the side of the head, That sprocket only fits the cam one way, so, get the cam to allow the sprocket to go on it WHILE the lines are right with the head,, AND At the same time, the piston has to be at Top Dead Center.. Achieved by rotating the crankshaft in the same direction as the wheels roll..
If you are using a ratchet, its probably gonna hit TDC and keep going,, A breaker bar is good there, or, if youre super careful, Ive managed with a ratchet,, Or, a pair of pliers on the extension,, Vise Grips, And its great if ya can figure a way to Keep your timing from drifting while youre busy with everything else..
Maybe thats enuff,, I hope so,, Dont give up,,
