I replaced the head gasket on a 2005 cavalier. I cannot get the timing chain back on correctly the cam doesn't want to set down all the way if i force it in I am afraid it will break something or the chain will be to tight. What did I do wrong?

For what you want it wil be easier to get a manual then explain it as it gets fairly involved if you haven't done this before. You can get an online manual for about $15 on the site and print what you need or see if your local library has one.
