I assume you have a cam locking tool, so the cam marks won't matter. But the crank sprocket mark is terribly hard to see and painting that will make life easier. You can't use 'actual' TDC on #1.

I don't recall ever seeing a warped head or block with these aluminum engines. I guess that a severe overheating would mess up the head, but your car didn't do that.

You will see an indent on each piston crown, your valves didn't do that. That comes from the factory, tight clearance indeed!
