Setting the timing and both cams and the crank turned free. We set each sprockets mark, when we got to crank now crank will not turn and my back cam chains neither one has colored or different marked links.

Good morning.

The cam gears all have marks on them for alignment. The crank has a mark as well. You may have to clean off the gears to see the mark.

The new chain should have colored links to set with the marks to verify the timing.

I attached pictures of the cam chains and the main chain for you to view.

Do not force the turning as you have vales hitting pistons at this point.
