Wild Man -I don't think I said anything about eyeballing the timing, he is asking if he is 180 degree out. Simple test - see if you have compression on the upstroke before TDC. And I said line it all up first...I think you are confusing me with the wooden dowel advocates. No licking my thumb and sticking it in the wind here.
To contribute something here...if you can't use the flywheel do not use a wooden dowel. Pull your head again and rotate the crank until #1 is at the top. Use a straight edge to verify and be as precise as possible. Is this as good as a flywheel mark? No, but the margin of error is much smaller than a tooth on the belt. Check cam for said fart sounds. If its silent, pull the head again and repeat after 1/2 revolution of the crank. Now you should have sounds, and if not you have some other problem to now go look for.
Lots of work but think how good you will be at it with all that practice!
