Pardon the questions, but I think I may be out thinking myself here.
I am pulling the heads on the old motor to put on the new block.
I have the crank tool in the keyway slot and on the stud on the block with the RH cam sprocket timing mark at 11 and LH at 12.
However, the copper links on the cam chains are not lined up with the cam sprocket timing marks. I know when I install them the copper links should be aligned at the cam sprocket marks. Is this a problem for removing the heads?
Another question. On the new short block, I have #1 piston at TDC based on the position, but how do I know this is the exhaust stoke or does it not matter?
Thanks!
