Head bolts are standard 10mm hex studs.
There are timing marks on the chains and pulleys. The top chain is marked with 3 coloured links. 1 gold and 2 silver. The gold link should lign up with the idler pulley mark, (timing marks are small round indentations on the pulley faces). At the same time the two silver links will lign up with the corresponding indentations on the cam pulley wheels, when correctly alligned.
This should be set up so that these align when the crank is at TDC, (2nd mark from the left)......it doesn't matter where the bottom coloured chain link is as long as the engine is on TDC and the top section aligns. It can take quite a few turns of the engine to line everything up but it's worth doing the job properly.
As a note, when standing facing the crank pulley, (drivers side wing), the cam lobes will be pointing away from each other and the inlet cam & exhaust cam pegs should be at approximately 10pm and 12pm respectively when the crank is at TDC and when viewed as stated above.
There is a printable copy of a Nissan service manual for engine timing lurking around.....possibly on the AUS forums. So that's worth a look.

there ya go. but be carefull. it took me two heads, 2 sets of expensive cams, 2 chains, 4 tensioners and 6 head gaskets to get mine right.
but its fine now!

The chains on the cg's are a work of art incomparison to most cars. Real simple and easy to remove and refit.
