Set it to factory spec with #1 at TDC. If you’re running it in at 2k rpm’s then check with timing light and adjust it on the fly to whatever advance is required at 2k, probably around 20 degrees maybe more. Once you get it warmed up to temp check it again and take it up to 3k where you should have full advance.

Then put fresh oil in and get it up to temp. Check the timing at idle and adjust to factory spec. Check again at 3k to make sure you’re getting full advance, then go drive it in the wrong gear, uphill etc. to seat the rings.
