Stop me before I blow it up - does this look right to you guys?
I've timed it twice before (don't ask) and was fine, but never took pictures, and this time I'm more paranoid for some reason.
I do not have excessive slack on the chain, the tensioner is still within limits.
Here's how I got this far:
1. Set the crank pulley to TDC (checked with screwdriver in spark plug #1, the mark is good)
2. Put the exhaust sprocket on with no slack on the chain between it and the crank, fingertight sprocket bolt
3. Put the intake sprocket on with 15 links between the sprocket marks, fingertight sprocket bolt
4. Install chain tensioner
5. Rotate crank twice to put the engine through a full cycle
6. Make sure everything is still aligned
