Since no one has given you an answer, I shall wade in-but I know there are folks with more experience with this engine.

I don't know what year your car is, but there should be a timing mark on the back side of the sprocket of the cam.
If you haven't moved the crank and you haven't replaced the chain, and haven't dropped the chain down the hole and there is no change in the fuel injection timing, put it back together and you should be set to go!

You should get a shop manual too, because there are sometimes things to do in re-assembly which are not obvious to most of us.

I hope this helps and hope you get your beauty back on the road where they belong!
