Possible the problem is somewhere else........

try moving the cps a tooth to the right or to the left. in my experience the tsrm directions just aren't good.

Also verify that the Damper hasn't slipped giving an incorrect TDC.

Considering the information given in the first post i think its a good start to narrow down if its timing related or not!

A tooth off should at least allow it to start

Might be the little dowel pins in the cam gear. That is if you took it apart.

^ it should still start and run "decent" with the cam timing switched around at the dowel pins (mine did when i experimented). The dowels provide a few degrees (2-3 IIRC) in each direction according to old stuff IJ has posted and are used in unison to accommodate major amounts of material removed from the head/block.

Have you checked the CPS alignment with the CPS cover off?
