 Dang, I was hoping that with careful marking of the pulleys I would avoid having to learn anything about cam timing!
 
If you can’t tell, I know zip about cams. But I did check that the #1 piston was at the top when the crank’s timing mark was lined up.

(*edit: removed dumb question that I answered by opening my eyes a bit.)
 
The history of this engine is a big unknown, I've never seen it run. Can you tell what the cams are set to now from the photo? I mean what sort of performance would you get with what looks to be the inlet cam about 2 notches late and the exhaust cam about 2 notches early?

Thanks for the help!
