It's just trial and error mate.
With the crank and exhaust cam timed up, and the exhaust cam bolted in.
I had the inlet cam loose so I could alter the timing.
If you have the cam timing right with 16 links then when you release the tensioner tool the cams should not rotate or move at all, as tension is equal both above and below.
