Default Does this look straight up?

For some reason since there's a little slack on one side because the motor tilts that way on the stand I can't really tell if it's dot to dot. I've been looking at it too long I need another set of eyes.

I'd degree it just to be certain. Sometimes the problem is in the grind and not the timing chain.

Looks lined up, don't forget to use blue locktite on the cam retainer & the cam sprocket bolts.
