You can use a double row chain...I just did on my 1098. An adjustable one
wouldn't be a bad idea. I wish I'd taken more time to 'time' my cam. I just
lined up the dots at TDC and went on with it.
I don't think the timing marks are all that precise.

PS If you use the duplex gears & chain you must countersink two screws below
the crankshaft gear or they foul the cog.
