   Don't know of this will help but I had my oil pump off a couple of weeks ago to do the piston rings.
   
   I hooked the sprocket on the chain at an angle then pushed it in place so the bolt holes lined up.
   
   
   
   Sorry for the shit diagram (I can't draw), but it's the only way I can explain it.
