don't crank & retime
Don't crank the engine any more until you check the timing. When you loosen the jackshaft sprocket retaining bolt with piston 1 at TDC on compression stroke the right (passenger side) camshaft will typically rotate about 30 degrees to reduce compressed valve spring pressure. I suggest that you pull both valve covers and check/redo the timing.
