you have to find out what the crank position should be when no 1 inlet is at full lift, by measuring it with a DTI

the crank pulley should be at tdc

and the cam pulley at tdc

the ignition timing fires at 12degrees before tdc !

IIRC when timed up properly the cam's wood-ruff key should be at 6 o'clock.
