To set your cam timing I would not recommend that you pull the chain off the crankshaft especially on the driver side since it can come off or even worse only be on one set of teeth on the double roller and be over looked . You will have to remove the cam nut and do it that way. If im not mistaken the size is 45mm. Also if you changed the ramps make sure they are fully snapped into place. There is no reason however to remove any gears to change the teeth the chain is on. Just remove the nut and large washer then use a small wood screw or a magnet and remove the dowel pin. With a 17mm wrench just turn the cam to 12 o`clock while at tdc (OT) install the pin in any hole that lines up and begin your cam timing procedure. It will probably take you a few hours of trial and error to accomplish this but be sure not to let the chains fall off the crank gear. Make sure the valve adjustment is also in order before you do a final setting. I am not a pro at this but i have changed my chains and upgraded my tensioner recentely so it still fresh in my head.
