1G Timing Marks

Looks to be around 2. Line it back up as per the timing instructions. You may not have bent any valves but, if you think you may have, do a leakdown test and compression test to confirm yes/no on the bent valves. Depending on how bent the valves are, you will have low compression and a noticeable leaking on the leakdown test.

You may not have bent them but, good to check. Put the timing back right and do all the tests to make sure everything is going well. If not, rebuild the head/replace it with one that has everything up to spec.
 
It looks like it is off by 2 teeth like stated above. Also did those timming gears come with the timming marks already on them, because I have a set of true-time gears from aem and they didn't.
