Have you checked the chain for parallel?
completely load the drives with the keys and all parts ready to lock up.
With both cams in the up position and pulley on TDC pin both cams so they turn together.
You need to know the cams youre using for the settings.
The number you quoted is probably a casting number on the case.
You should have a 911/xx number by the fan on the flat to the right.

the cams are pinned with keys up at tdc, the # is 911/51 and the cams are stock 911T cams from the castings I researched earlier.
