2003 explorer v6
Ok so my brother in law has an explorer 2003 4.0 sohc. He broke an exhaust valve on #5 cylinder we removed the cylinder head and it was repaired. My problem is that when we took the timing chain off (driver side only) we put the motor at TDC did the finger blowout trick, marked the chain and sprockets with whiteout for positioning purposes but i have a feeling the driver cam moved when we removed the sprocket. Anyways i guess my question is if the motor moved from TDC and the the marks i made on the chain and sprockets are different how do i time this thing so i dont have piston the valve contact on startup. Im kinda timing in the blind:(

Please help
