Subject: Cam, cam chain, piston allignment tips?

I just tore my heads apart due to a smokey right cylinder. The smoke was backing all the way up to my top plate breather so apart it came. The top piston ring was busted and a new set is on its way. My question is: when going to re-assemble the cam sprocket and cam shaft, how do i make sure that the cam shaft (and sprocket, chain) are in the correct position in their cycle to match up right with the pistons in their cycle? i have not messed with the bottom end so i can still line up timing (LF)to give me some hint for when the exhaust arm should soon be lifting...but not precise. Any tips would be appreciated. thanks.
