Being able to turn the engine over by hand isn't a grantee it's timed correctly.
One tooth out on the crank will put you in the danger zone of the valves hitting one another when the engine is started. They only have to slightly touch and they will bend, they will bend by points of a mm but the valve seal will be destroyed and it only take one to bend and that's it game over!
Re-time the engine correctly, all the timing marks must be aligned. Then do a compression check fingers crossed you've got away with it, if the compression is low in any cylinder chances are you've bent a valve.
Good luck.
