Setting initial timing on reassembly...73 220D

I am putting my head back together and have run into a bit of a problem with the timing. I ought to have marked the washer with the notch, because as I moved the camshaft back onto the engine it fell off, and now I'm not sure if it's 180 degrees off or not. The engine is at TDC, but after turning it a bit it appears the No. 3 piston contacts the intake valve. Do I have it 180 degrees off? Just wanted to ask before taking things apart again.

Thanks!
