streetka timing chain

[cmay201168]

i was changing the head gasket on my 03 streetka after it failed. all the head was ground and treated properly. but i dropped the timing chain while replacing the head......... is there a way of getting the timing right without having to strip the sump etc .

idealy the sump needs to come off , but you could possibly use a dti guage in the no 1 or 4 sparkplug hole and find tdc accuratley. then lift chain up over crank sproket and on to cam sprocket with pointer at 12 o clock.
