Timing Help

Reinstalling camshafts after a 24000 mile valve check on a 2010 daytona. Timing was perfect before, but now the tdc dot on the crank is 1 tooth too far clockwise when the cams are lined up. Everything was perfect before I took the cams off, so it can't be a stretched chain right? When the dot lines up on the crank, the exhaust cam won't go straight with the chain fully tight.

If you haven't solved this I can send you screenies of the manual, usually you'd measure the chain to tell if it has been stretched or not, 23 links iirc (148.9mm between them, if more you'd have to install a new chain). Although your problem would be too severe if that were the case for your crank not to line up with your camshafts, did you disassemble anything? Or loosened something?
Anyway, if you're at TDC and your lobes are pointing inward (marks lined up in the right where the chain is) you should be OK iirc, I'll post screenies when I get back home later today.

Cheers
Derek
