I forgot to mention that I replaced the cam seal too, because it was leaking a little. When I removed the cam gear, I inspected the cam key, things were fine there, no damage.
I did check that #4 was at TDC when the crank cog was lined up at the 12pm mark, so things with the crank seem correct.
I did the lash on the valves by finding TDC on each cylinder separately.
So as far as I can tell, both the crank and cam keys are perfect, no damage found on either.
Could there be a chance it has the wrong cam gear on it and thus the cam timing is way off? I know this is unlikely, just not sure what else would be causing this.
This afternoon I plan to take the valve cover off and watch the valves as I rotate the crank to see if they align with TDC rotation for each cylinder... Only thing else I could think of to check...
