I would read the write up on www.clarks-garage.com . You rotate the motor to TDC on the cam then I would go off the mark on the flywheel, install the flywheel lock, remove belts, install belts (line up the timing marks for the cam (cam may be off a tooth or 2 due to the spring pressure) and balance shaft), do an initial tension to take up slack, remove flywheel lock, rotate the motor 2 times clockwise to 1.5 teeth past the timing mark on the cam, back the engine up 1.5 teeth, take your tension readings, Adjust if nessesary, rotate the engine 2X and retake the reading as before. Do this until you get good figures then I would rotate the engine again and check it one more time. Reinstall everything, start it up and go racing
