Can i let the timing chain down or will it fall of the crank sprocket? I remember seeing the grove in the timing cover and when its on i dont think there is enough room for it to drop of the sprocket. I am doing this along so I need some input fast!

ive seen many t-covers missing that piece. if its there it shouldn't fall off.
i hook a bungee cord threw the cam gear and then hook it too a support hole on the inside of the hood. then lift the head up and have a buddy hold the cam gear up while he unhooks the bungee and reroutes it. make sense?

maybe try and zip tie the chain tight/ together under the cam gear. im not sure if that can be done with the head on though.
have your neighbor come help, anyone can hold the bungee lol.
