Now for the part I missed - Roll the crank 360 degrees (that's half a rev of the cams) and see the other side. Now the cams are set 180 degrees out from one another. I have one set of cams out 180 degrees. BYprodriver hit it on the head.

Go get a boroscope and insert it into the spark plug hole
You'll need the more expensive, smaller one to fit into the spark plug hole.
You can see if there is valve strikes in the pistons
It will typically show up as a shiny half moon arc
If it's there, you probably have bent valves.
You really don't want to risk starting with bent valves
They could stick and break off
Which obviously would not be good.
