What a farce. Spent all weekend trying to get the dickhead timing right.
Everything would be lined up nice and perfect and then as soon as I put tension in the tensioner it pulls the crank half a tooth out. Tried to compensate by putting the crank out the other way but it didn't work. Don't want to drive the car really in case I damage anything although it was running 90 degrees out at the crank before with only 1 minor valve kiss so this should be okay (in theory)
Crank too advance (clockwise)

Crank too retaded (anti closewise) - this one sounds better to me but need to loosen the timing belt as I over tightened it to try and pull the crank around
