All you can really do is check that the timing marks line up properly............I'd be very surprised to find that they didn't line up as you did nothing to change the timing.
If it helps with your confidence take the ignition pick up cover off and use a 19mm scocket to turn the engine over by hand...........(turn it clockwise)
You'll see that everything is lined up and...............working
At the very worse the camchain will be ever so slightly over tensioned and I very much doubt even that.
Fire it up start it and listen to it
Ring me if you want we'll chat I'll PM my number now
