Timing Chain Alignment

[wally_245]

A bit of back history first. A long time ago, in a place far far away, I installed a cam, lifters, timing chain and new heads on my sbc 350. I was pretty inexperienced and after I was done, I could never get it to run properly. I always thought I had mis aligned the timing chain. Eventually I just parked the car and left it for almost 20 years.



Fast forward, and now I want to get my car on the road again. Thinking my timing chain was off, I drained the oil, dropped the oil pan and pull the timing chain cover. After looking at it again, I don't think the timing chain is off. Before I bolt it back up, could you guys take a look at the picture and see what you think?

Thanks
