Getting the timing chain marks to line up won't happen for a great deal of crankshaft rotations.

Of course the sprocket marks will line up every 2 rotations. However, to get them and the marked-links of the chains back in line again (i.e. to match the initial set-up) will require at least 116 crankshaft rotations (I believe....ymmv)
