I would confirm the timing with a timing light and the flywheel marks. If the timing chain has been off recently, then chances are high that the mechanical timing might be offset...sometimes just a tooth will be enough to drive you crazy. To check the mechanical timing, you need to take the valve cover off and spark plug #1 needs to be taken out. This will allow you to feel the piston when it is at TDC. Your timing sprockets have marks which need to be checked at this point in time. Be sure to turn the crank, so the tension of the chain is away from the tensioner, otherwise you will get a false reading. Remember this - the Crank is the driving shaft and the Cams are the driven shafts. This is a critical thing to remember, otherwise you will end up with your mechanical timing being offset. Check and recheck.
Good luck
