Rotate the cams to 10 and 12 and crank the engine over by hand to release the tensioner and make sure you have done this correctly.. This essentially moves the crank one link without touching the crank and pulling the front cover. If you don't understand this, read about how many revolutions the cams make in relation to the crank. This can happen on a de and not a ve because there is no room to skip a tooth on the crank on a ve.
You should start your own thread viperdude since this does not apply to lynch. DOes anyone understand this?
And yes this has nothing to do with the crank pulley if it is ok so stop being lazy and get to work. Viperdude, your way makes no sense with switching the pulleys because you have a crank pulley and a crank sprocket. The pulley has the marks for timing you ignition and the sprocket has the mark fpr your chain. I meant to quote Viperdude also but messed up.

Yeah I meant adjust both shafts but not just with the number of teeth between the cam sprocket marks but relative to the head as can be seen at this link: A faster way to change the timing chain, while in car? : SR20DET Forum (rear-drive)
I didn't use this method when building my engine as I set it on the factory marks top and bottom but this diagram does in fact line up irrespective of chain marks provided you are at TDC.
