...I did the chains on my '93 Aero recently.
-- Definitely need to set TDC at 0.
-- There are marks on the cam sprockets to identify their TDC position. They will not line up perfectly with the markings on the cams themselves, which will appear slightly off from the cam sprockets, when the sprockets are lined up with flywheel at TDC. That's how it was with mine. But use the marketings on the cam sprockets to determine cam TDC (when the sprockets are mounted on the camshafts, obviously).
-- I didn't worry much about the lining up of chain links with anything, other than (if I remember) on the crank sprocket.
-- Once you have everything in place, other than the timing cover, be sure to rotate the engine via the crank bolt a number of times, and check whether the cam sprockets and flywheel are in synch with their TDC markings. I did this with the timing chain tensioner in place, since I wanted to test TDC accurately.
If I've given any erronious instruction, I'm sure others will also pipe in with comments and advice.
Hope this helps!
--Peter
