man...this sounds bad....
1 remove valve cover
2 use screw driver to move flywheel to TDC or "0" on the timing mark.
3 look at the cams to see where the marks are....there is a line on both cam sprockets, that need to point directly up from the motor. I believe there is also a mark on the cam itself.
someone else might know but there is a certain amount of LINKS of chain between the 2 marks on the cam sprocket, 13 strikes me but I might be wrong.
if it looks close or on, the noise might have been the lifters pumping up...the lifters are hydralic and will make noise when you first start it after a head job...sometimes it takes 3-4 minutes to pump them up...
