Timing in line
If the timing set tool can be properly inserted, there's a great chance there is nothing damaged inside the motor. If you are going to put the rehab motor in, I'd be 100% certain the IMS bearing is new. Many mechanics without proper training can hammer a new bearing into anything. It is IMPERATIVE the proper tools and techniques be used or damage to the new bearings will be done and the life will be greatly shortened. If you can get each cylinder to TDC and apply air pressure to a leak down tester, with the crankshaft securely blocked, there will be almost no loss of air unless a valve is bent. If the pressure drops almost immediately to zero, there's a bent valve.
Best of luck.
