Putting this DE back together. Bought the car with a smoked motor that had been taken apart by the previous owner and have since rebuilt. Putting back together now and haven't built an engine in years. Pretty sure I had the timing right but in acquiring parts for the motor I gained an extra couple cams. I need to know which two need to go back in. I have three marked 53F with a 3 stamped on them and one with 53F and 5 stamped on it. Right now I have 2 53F with 3's installed but number 4 cylinder is hitting the valves on rotation. I even tried the shifting the cam over 4 teeth and still the same. The problem seems to be the valves hitting the piston in cyl 4

Whats the next step?
And yeah i tried the search button.
Here are the timing marks as they are now
