Please, I Need Troubleshooting Advice

Please help. Evp X was running fine but would not start the next morning. Turns over but doesn't sound normal. Previously had a similar problem. The dealer fixed a timing chain that had slipped a tooth on the cam gear. I think it happened again.

I'm trying to check the cam gear alignment but I've never done this before. The Evo X service manual says to rotate the engine until the cam gear marks line up with the head. But I don't know how to rotate the engine. How do I do that? Can I put a wrench on the cam gear bolt and start turning?

Did they replace the timing chain? Those are prone to stretching on the pre 2011 models?

Just take it back to the dealer that did the work then. I mean if you really dont know what your doing im not sure what kind of checking or diagnostic you can really do.(no offense) I mean if the chain jumped then most likely there is other problems anyways.
