David, do you have a shop manual. Section A.25. I will try to attach the two pages that address this but to get them small enough to attach you may not be able to read them. But the gist of the proceedure is that on the Big Healey engine, you do not line up the dots. You will put the KEYWAYS of each gear in approx TDC postion. then as stated in the 1st paragraph of page 47 you hold the chain with it doubled over bringing both " BRIGHT" links together. This then shows a long and short portion of the chain on either side of the BRIGHT links. the shorter portion of the chain on the right. "Engage the spot marks on the camshaft sprocket tooth with the top bright link and the crankshaft marked tooth coinciding with the other bright link. With the sprockets in this respective position with the chain, push the assembly home. " With this done, you will note that the top bright link which is engaged on the cam sprocket where the marked tooth is, is in the straight up position. nearly vertical. And the other bright link which is engaged on the crank sprocket where the marked tooth is, is nearly straight down in the vertical on the crank. As seen in figure A.21 on page 46. It my pics come thru. Dave C.
