I'm fairly sure you are 180 degrees out.With the piston on number 1 cylinder all the way up,check your marks,if you dont see them,turn the engine untill you do see them.if you turn the crank one complete revolution,then see the marks, you are out 180 degrees.The cam turns at half the speed of the crank,so for every 2 crank revolutions,the cam turns one time.If you had the crank on the exhaust stroke and the cam on the fire stroke it might make it suck through the exhaust,and exhaust on the intake.I hope this isnt confusing you worse,but if you think about it,when the piston is coming up,and the intake has just closed,it has to be right,marks or not.I would take the cam gear off,or idler or whatever to reset the timing,carefully turn the crank one revolution,mark where it is now on the harmonic balancer and front cover,turn it one revolution,you might have to turn the cam a little to get it to turn all the way around in case the piston hits the valves,then when i got the crank turnd back to my mark,hook the cam back up by the marks if possible.I think that will fix it,just dont turn the cam any more than you have to to get the crank to go all the way around,mark its position as well,and maybe you wont even have to turn the cam anyway,but if you do,put it back in the same place it was,and when you get the crank back to where it was hook it back up.Also you want to turn it in the direction of rotation of the engine.Another thing to do might be(now this is just an idea)but if its a 4 cylinder for instance,if you can take the number 1 fuel line off and the number 4 fuel line off,and hook the number 1 fuel line to number 4 cylinder,that one might fire.It might fire,might not,maybe it would not be a good idea to do that.
