Well it sounds to me like you've got yourself really confused. In these cases I think white marks here and white marks there help to confuse more than they actually help. If I were you I'd start again...
...but before you do did you check the height between the valves and the surface of the block? (Back to FSM for the specs I'm afraid)
Whilst you've been doing all of this trying to refit the chain on the head stuff have you removed the chain tensioner? (You don't say so in your post - so I ask)
Do not expect the cam shaft tower notch and the 0 degree mark at the crank to match up on a used chain.
If you turn the crank with the cam timed with about a distance of 5 teeth in the wrong place then you will be pushing the valves into the piston heads.
This is not a "safe" engine - if the chain is one tooth in the wrong place then the chances are that you'll get collisions between piston head and valve.
Do not fit the rocker arms until you are 100% sure that the timing is correct.
