I’m sorry if this is all over the place... I’m a little frustrated and my head isn’t working quite right.

I’m installing my timing cover and notice the timing marks don’t line up... rotate the engine, following the valves through their cycles, watch the intake valve close and the piston hit TDC... cam mark is 180* out.

Am I daft the have assumed that when assembled, and the marks lined up, it should have been cyl 1 TDC compression? Thus, every time 1 hits TDC compression, the marks line up!

I cannot follow my builders logic and I’m 100% standstill until this is confirmed.
