Best way to keep timing when changing chain

One (and probably more things as I remember) more thing, when you go to install your VCT solenoids, spray them down with throttle body cleaner good and check the screens to make sure that they are there. Then dip them in clean oil before reinstalling. I forgot to do this and had a P0012 code, pulled them, cleaned them, reinstalled in opposite banks to see if code followed, good to go since last year.

If you have pulled the chains you need to try to put them back on, put the harmonic balancer tick mark back in the proper position, check the cam lobes for proper direction (there's a pic in my album) and then I would remove the chains and then reinstall them again with the links lined up again. Then once again, rotate the engine by hand to make sure that there is no valve to piston contact.
Even though the VCT solenoids are new, I would still spray them with the throttle body cleaner and then dip them in clean oil before installation, just my advice though on that.
Good luck, let us know how it goes or if you need assistance.
