If so, I would definitely say you are one tooth off...those bits were nowhere near level. And they should atlleast be level with eachother, or be really close.
If you rotated the crankshaft a bit, did the cam dowel holes line up better as compared to eachother? if so, that would indicate stretch. And you can measure it by the variation on the harmonic damper.
Did you check the stretch?

The status was a tad better than the pictures since everything was in place, but still off....there was nothing i could do about it at the time, tried to advanced both a tooth, but it ended up with valves touching cylinders while hand rotating....
people assured me (or the consensus is) that 104 chains rarely stretch...i guess i have a unique case? I would think i was about 10 degrees off....
so a new chain will fix this ?
