Alt,

It is good to ask and seek advise. Have you done a cam timing before? This is a good time to get someone to assist you because your understanding how the cam timing is done is questionable. People with experience could do it with the motor installed but I would rather do it with the motor on an engine stand. If you are in a hurry and needs to get the car back on the track soon, doing the cam timing in situ makes sense. But if you are at home, why make the condition more challenging for you. Pull that motor out and take your time to fix the problem.

Are you using a mechanical tensioner to keep the timing chain taut? Keep us posted.
