Sounds like you are doing it correctly but your cam is about 25 deg retarded. This is because you reach your desired lift (presumably 1.8mm as specifically called out) at 25 deg ATDC.

So, Engine at Z1 TDC (rocker is loose due to valve lash)
rotate engine 360 deg to put cam at overlap.
rotate cam (not crank) until dial gauge reads your desired lift.
insert pin
torque nut/bolt (depending on year)
rotate engine 720 deg (2 turns) and verify you are at correct overlap lift.

Then move on to Cylinder #4.
