Hello all, tonight I am putting my new timing chain and sprockets onto my Edsel's 292. The car ran great when I started this project, but when I pulled out the old timing chain, it had a lot of slack. In trying to put the one on tonight, the alignment of the woodruff keys are slightly off. I'l say my crankshaft sprocket is .20 thousands of an inch away from sliding on. About the thickness of a sewing pin. So, what to I have to turn in order for the sprockets to slide in, the crank or the cam? Thanks! I'm trying to get er done tonight!

Probably easier to rotate crank in direction you require.
