It sounds like your timing is way off (about 120 degrees). This should be very noticable just looking at the dots or flats or whatever you have on the cams to show timing. Note that 120 degrees off on the crank will be 60 degrees off on the cam. So if you turn the crank to TDC you may see the cams at 60 degrees canted one way or the other if my assesment is correct.
Maybe take a break from it and re-read the book and this post as well as other posts to see if you can get the picture.
You are setting the relationship between the cams and the crank. When you have it right the valve will open to 1.45mm when the crank reaches TDC. Note that the #4 intake valve will open to 1.45mm 360 degrees after the #1 intake valve did once you have both cams timed correctly.
Be careful when you are turning the engine. If you have the timing off enough to hit the piston on the valve you could bend the valve.
