Anytime you do anything with the timing chain, such as replacing or removing for head work, you should always manually roll the engine over at least two complete revolutions. You roll it over at the crank bolt and two revs takes you through a complete cycle. If you did this before hitting the starter, then likely your timing is retarded. If timing was advanced, you would not be able to make two complete revolutions by hand due to piston/valve contact.
