96 zetec timing marks

I blew a head gasket all back together and need to time engine. Chilton says line second crankshaft dampner mark with indicator on oil pan. #1 and #4 are not at TDC with marks lined up Why is that??? Is a 1996 zetec an interference engine??? Most engines Ive dealt with the timing marks are accurate. Just want to not have to redo.. Thanks any help appreciated.

Re: 96 zetec timing marks

put 1 and 4 to TDC and lock the cams, theres notches on both of the cams that need to be lined up
