Do you have the maintenance manual? If not get one. It's relatively easy to follow.

It probably doesn't matter much if the crank isn't at TDC now, or where the valves are, it will matter when you go to reassemble. The manual will have detailed instructions on setting up the timing.

Dunno about the WR but it would not be unusual to have to remove the head & some stuff off the end of the crank to replace a continuous cam chain.

Measure up & compare the 2 chains before you install the new one - higher miles WRR's are rare & any info about what wears out & when would be very useful to those who are racking up the miles.

Cheers
Clint
