If you didn't touch the distributor, then the only way the timing could change, is if the chain slipped.....

I just don’t know how that could have happened, it’s a brand new chain and gear set. Besides cylinder #8 chewing on a bolt it ran totally fine prior to me taking it apart.

I assume you removed the head to do the piston work. Did you get all the push rods/rockers in correctly? Triple check the firing order. Are the plugs good, not fouled?
