Interesting. Where did you hear that? My new chain did have some contrasting-colored links, but I ignored them and just aligned the timing marks.
Look at your cam sprockets on their "outsides", the sides away from the cams, the convex ones. You should see 1 radial mark on each of them just beneath the teeth that needs to be perpendicular to the valve cover gasket surface when the chain is taut from crank sprocket to exhaust cam, exhaust to intake, and the flywheel is at 0 degrees TDC. THEN you put the tensioner in to take up slack between intake and crank sprocket and turn the whole motor a couple times to check. If you then find you're still off, measure the tensioner's extension--confidence is irrelevant to whether the parts are in/out of spec--if the "foot" is out by more than 11mm then most agree that you need a new chain at least.
If the tensioner isn't extended that far, then try marking your links when you first set them up, notice which way they seem to drift on rotation, and see if you can move them over one tooth or another during setup to make them rotate into alignment. I'm just guessing here tho; I used a new chain and guides, followed the Townsend page's instructions (when it was available) and everything seems to have gone right together the first time. We'll know for sure when I start it...
