you sure its on the compression stroke and not the exhaust stroke? remove #1 plug and put a finger on the hole you will feel compression. also the rotor will actually ne just approaching #1 you may be advanced by a tooth

I don't have access to hold timing, but some 4 cylenders time the head by a notch on the head and not the crank. D o you have a manual?
