Darin,
There should be a dimple on the outer dia. of the cam gear and one on 
the crank gear. If you are sure the cam and crank have not moved and you 
replaced the cam and crank gears with the chain, count the number of 
links between the cam dimple and the crank dimple. There should be 15 
full links on the right side as you are facing the chain. The 15 links 
includes the two links that are centered on the dimples. Hope this 
helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Elton
