have you checked that you timed the engine up at top dead centre & that the crank wasnt half a turn out,so its trying to fire on number 4 instead of number 1.
and an obvious one is the cam belt is intact,not broken,im guessing its a new belt so probly not that but always check the obvious,

Yes m8 i even locked the cams with home made tool as the book says but yet it sounds to me like the valve timeing is out ive even checked that i aint made the mistake of wrong cam in the wrong side.
The only thing i aint sure about is as both of the cam wheels have beed removed and refitted and not sure if they are in the right place or not but surely that shudnt matter as the cams are locked at the dizzy end??.
Also i cant find any marks on the camwheels ive even cleaned them up like new.
