But with 1/2 in you might be able to fix it. Just make sure the solenoid did not take a hit and was damaged. That would be an easy test. If it doesn't work, then you will need a new solenoid, and they are not cheap...
Did you use the holder tool? Do you have a holder tool? I wonder if I put the engine in my engine stand and tipped it on its side if gravity would be enough to hold the cams in place and not disturb the timing. Not too worried about getting it together leak free, but disturbed cam timing is on the list of nightmares.
