Hey everyone so I'm putting my engine back together and I have a question about the timing chain. So I put everything back together with the marks on the cam sprockets lined up with the marks on the chain, idler gear was lined up too, cams facing the right way and the motor was at tdc. I'll put a picture at the end of how it went on. So my question is that I turned the motor over by and now the marks on the chain aren't lined up with the cam sprockets, but at tdc the cam sprockets and cams are exactly where they're supposed to be, is this normal? I searched and I saw some people say that after you turn it over they should not line up anymore unless you keep turning and they will line up eventually. How true is this?
Am I good as long as the marks on the cam sprockets and cams are facing the right way? And if you can line up the marks eventually if you keep turning it does anyone know how many turns it will take? I just want to be sure everything is how it's supposed to be and I'm hoping it is. Sorry if this is confusing and any help is greatly appreciated.
This is how it was installed and how it looked before I turned the motor:
