If you cannot get it close then you will have to remove the cam cover and rotate the cam gear to get the chain back in the right spot. you can download the 986 service manual to look up on how to accomplish that, but it can be done.

Thanks for the advice - very much appreciated!
I’ve been reading all day and I have a feeling that I’m going to have to lock Bank 1 and crank as you suggest, remove the tensioner on Bank 2 (which is a bit of a pig), then the cam cover to hopefully move the sprockets on the chain. Assuming there’s enough slack, of course. That’s all I can think, at least.
Just to check I’m not being an idiot, the slots on the cams are definitely all supposed to be vertical when the engine is at TDC?
