Try moving the chain around? You have the crank sprocket lined up, right? It works, just try moving the chain around so the different colored links are at the different reference points..

thats about what we did, we line up the crank and cams put on the chain (color marks on chain didnt match but the cam gear marks were in the correct spots) then we manually turned the motor over and nothing hit , oh and the motor was TDC then we did it so were going with it. thanks for the reply <br>

You wont hear anything hit if the timing is off.... trust me, I know...
There are three timing marks to match up. Crank and the two gears. So long as all three marks are lined up, you will be fine...
