Shawn,
Maybe I should have been a bit more clear in my update post. The cam timing on my car was off .007 between cylinder #1 and cylinder #4. The acceptable range of timing is .197" to .213", however it is critical that whatever timing you choose in that range, #1 and #4 need to be within .001" or .002" of that setting.
In other words, my number 4 cylinder was set at .199". Therefore my number 1 cylinder needs to be set at .197" to .201". In actuality, my #1 cylinder was set at .224". In fact, it was out of the acceptable range altogether.
So as you can see, even though the acceptable range is nearly 1/2mm, it is critical that #1 and #4 be within extremely close tolerances. I do not believe that can be done by eye. I would take the time now to verify your timing across cylinders #1 and #4. It will save you the grief of taking everything back apart to re-adjust later.
