Cam timing and ignition timing are two VERY different things. Yes you put the cam angle sensor in properly, well maybe you did, im probably giving you too much credit here.
However, you have to ADJUST it to set the actual timing once it is in, you ever notice those giant slots where the bolts go ? Yeah thats for adjustment, you can have it way the fuck out of spec, or way the fuck out of spec the other direction, until you actually listen to what you've been told, numerous times, YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG.
What you need to know is, that if you've fucked with your timing set and dicked it all around, its time to remove the lower oil pan, the upper oil pan, and the front cover, then setup the timing chain properly, and proceed from there.
