I did loctite the cam bolts but I didn't go overboard on the stuff. How much of the stuff should I use? I didn't want the lotite to squish out of the bolts and find its way into the bearing and loctite the bearing.

Alignment looks good. It would have to be one tooth off not to be right, so just imagine how it would look if one of the dots was on the next tooth over.
I used just a small amount of blue loctite on the cam bolts. I use it on several things, just to be safe.
Also just a tip if your not already aware. When you put the oil pump back on, slide it on and just start the mounting bolts but leave them loose. Then install the pickup tube with a new o-ring and tighten it down completely before tightening the oil pump mounting bolts. If you tighten the pump down first and then install the pickup tube, you will most likely damage the o-ring and be hating life later when you have oil pressure problems.
