Checking my timing job please help

OK so I took my cam phasers off re did everything and had cylinder 1 at TDC with the valves closed. I put everything all back together, marks all lined up. So is this all correct? So I rotated the crank shaft and none of the marks ever line up again. Please explain, I don't want to button up the cover then have it explode

That is normal. It takes many revs (don't know the exact number of revs) before they line back up again. As long as it was lined up properly initially, then you're set.

Its 122 revs not practical to do

You should turn crank by hand 2 full revs clockwise to prove no valve to piston contact . Before you moved her she should have looked like this .

OK fingers crossed I'm going to turn it over tomorrow morning. That's good math to figure out 122. When I took it apart I hardly remember turning the crank until I got the marks to show up on the cam. The chain was all worn out and the guide was broken so I think the chain skipped and the timing was off.. It had stopped running after driving like crap

It takes something upwards of like 25 revolutions before the timing marks line up again.
