If it runs well, you didn't bend anything, and if the timing marks are in line, the chain is perfect.
Your rough idle is another problem. Start with looking for a vac leak, certainly, but don't ignore the secondary ignition system -- bad plugs, wires, cap, or rotor will give a rough idle.
So can a bad engine mount, by the way, check those too. If you have the spherical gell filled ones, if the rim is less than about 3/4" from the frame, you cannot see the tapered portion on the bottom, or you find sticky goo on it, it's shot.
