Well, you probably don't have a machinist's wedge, so reinstall three head bolts, one in the center and one at each end. Leave about one-half inch gap between the head of the bolt and the cylinder head. Crank the engine over once or twice. Now I'm assuming you have the head completely stripped down, rocker shaft, push rods, injectors, and all.

Rule #1 when disassembling machinery – make witness marks (thought you did that, sorry). Some people use center punches (one punch on each piece, two punches on each other piece, etc. (real handy on rods & caps)). I use a straight chisel to make an “X”, but I also use alpha-numeric steel stamps.
Tommy is correct. The swirl chambers in the piston crowns face the side where the injectors are, and are almost always opposite of the camshaft.
If there are markings on the con rods & caps, those marks usually face AWAY from the camshaft.

If you want to pursue this further, I suggest removing the valve cover and inspect the rocker shaft mechanism.

Ahem,
Do you see any spark plugs? Spark plug wires? Distributor? Coil? Carburetor?
It's a compression-ignition engine not a spark-ignition engine.
Time to hit the books and do some Googleing.

I have a Snap-On 1% accuracy torque wrench that I use.
Snap-On Tools can check torque wrench calibration for you.
Like Rich says; Correct torque is very important.

Without seeing the sending unit up close, I can only speculate. Look real close at the other terminal to see if it is connected to the case. Some units are grounded that way, and some units will have that terminal connected to another gauge or power source.

when you get the other torque wrench find a bolt that it real tight set the one to a couple different readings and compare the reading to the one you left loaded you might get lucky. you might be in the + – window
Can someone please translate that?
