You should line up the cams to the v cutouts in the first bearing cap, however they don't always line up perfectly. When you have them all lined up (cyl. 1 at 0, cams on their marks), with the tensioner out, re-install the cam sprockets making sure the chain is tight between the exhaust cam and the crank. Then be sure the chain is tight between the two cams and reinstall the tensioner. Re-check your cam marks, they should be very close to where you put them (less than a tooth off). Next turn the engine over 2-3 times by hand, NOT with the starter. Line up cyl. 1 at 0 again and recheck the cams. Everything should be close at this point and you can button it up and start it. Hope that helps.
