Yes but what he doesn't explain is what to do when the damn cam gear doesn't have notches or what to do if you can't see through a hole. That's why I was getting confused because when the gear was on I couldn't anything. Duralast sucks

im pretty sure in one of his vids he talks about aftermarket timing chains

Hainz's video is for Datsun L series cam and timing components. We can't read your mind and...

 

 

Eh?

doesn't help. Pictures of what you have helps

 

The L16 is set on the #1 hole on the cam sprocket at the factory. This should work for you. If the chain is stretched or the head was milled you can try setting it on the #2 hole to compensate. You could try the #2 hole anyway. If the low speed torque and performance increases just leave it there. If you notice no difference leave on the #1 hole. This looks like a newer after market sprocket and chain so probably in good shape.

I'm sorry. I was trying to show what I did and asking if I was right in or a link off or completely off. New crank sprocket,chain, tensioner, rails.

Lol. Stop defending yourself by saying you're a Chevy guy. 

 

These are simple motors. Very easy. 

If you can build a Chevy-there is no way you can't put an L together. 

 

 

I've been rebuilding 2AZ-FE Toyota 4 cylinders at work lately. 1 a week for a few months now. 

I have read nothing on how to do so. It's just nuts and bolts. Set to TDC before any disassembly-paint the shit out of everything for reference.

Put the crank at TDC

Put the cam lobes at 10am and 2pm on number 1 cylinder, there should be 42 links between the crank dot and the cam sprocket dot/number, which ever number you choose.

The rotor should be pointed at a post on the distributor cap, that would be where #1 wire would be, the firing order is 1, 3, 4, 2 counter clockwise, if it is not pointed at a post, then you have set it up wrong at some point, and you will have to drop the oil pump and set it up correctly.
