It's important to line up the marked sections of the timing chain with the pulleys in order to set the timing. IIRC, it's two black links straddling the idler pulley mark, plus one black link for the crank.
You've then got the right number of links between the idler pulley and the crank pulley on the tense side of the chain. If you don't match the link marks, you could have slop in the chain. So it's doable without using the marks, but worthwhile using them.
To line up the black link at the crank end, I used a mirror to see while looking down from the front of the car.

and put the crank shaft in TDC positionjust jam a bolt in there kevin, my friend did it for me without the correct bolt
but that's just me. From what I remember, there's another bolt that goes in that hole (albeit not all the way), so you want to make sure not to mess up the thread.

Heres how to bolt down the head. First you torque all the bolts to 22 ft-lbs in the sequence specified in the manual. Then you turn each bolt 90 degrees in the same sequence as before. Then you turn them another 90 degrees in the same sequence. Thats it for used bolts. With new bolts, you do one more 90 degree turn.

I'd be scared to do that with aluminum but that's just me. From what I remember, there's another bolt that goes in that hole (albeit not all the way), so you want to make sure not to mess up the thread.

I used a unf bolt that sorta fitted. All it has to do is bottom out in the hole enough to rotate the tensioner assembly. It doesnt use much force. Its the rotating of what is goes into that does the work, not any pulling on the thread itself. Once you have it rotated enough you can then put the pin through the hole.
