It has the original lifters in it.

Both banks were timed the same way, meaning engine locked at TDC and timing tool used.

The picture below shows bank 1-3 timing

Still worth a quick double check that your still in time.

pull the oil scavenge covers and make sure the cam sprockets didn't slip.

left and right bank do get timed 180 out of phase. Been a while since
I personally checked but the cam holder gets rotated such that
when timed both camshaft sides are slightly on the outside of the case.
Double check that as it's been a couple years since I did it myself.
