Yeah, if he got down right in front of the engine and took a better pic I can tell for sure if thats the case. When I put my crank pulley exactly on the white mark, the main center gear is slightly turned clockwise (about 3mm) from the way the marks should be without the 3mm hg. The ex cam gear mark is slightly turned counter clockwise from where it should be and the intake cam gear mark is also slightly turned counter clockwise from where it should be. If you set there and look at it and imagined pulling the 3mm hg off and the head going back down 3mm to the factory position, the center gear will move slightly back counter clockwise and the marks will line up perfectly with the deck. Also the ex cam gear mark will move slightly clockwise along with the intake gear mark. I set there and pictured myself lowering the head back down and imagining what the gears would do when the 3mm was taken out of the equation and it totally makes sense to me. Btw, I didn't pull the pin and clock the center gear like IP suggests either so mine will be slightly off more than someone that does that. The movement (about .010") that you get by pulling the pin and re-clocking the gear isn't enough to do a thing. I have been running this way for 3 years without any problems. I hope this explanation makes sense and helps.

 

We keep talking about cam orientation because that's what the original poster showed a pic of.

But the fact is, a car will start with the cams a bit out of sync and no matter how out of sync they are you'll still get spark, just at the wrong time.

Until the OP confirms that they have reconnected the ground at the back of the head we're just running around in circles here.

 

this is true...
He may have multiple issues here...

With just the cams off timing, it should have spark, and the engine should make an attempt to start.
However, that may be with some backfiring, etc. And once if it starts, it's gonna run like shit kinda like a v8 with a cam.
