Craigs New Datsun Sunny

As Sam said, find TDC with the screwdriver method (or shell out on a dial gauge).
Then the dowels should be cock on 10 & 12.
If thats at TDC now... then both the intake & exhaust cam sprockets need to be rotated 1 tooth clockwise IMO..
The Chain slack might rectify itself when you get the timing bang on.

my thoughts exactly, just doin it now, i'll post up pics when done

oil in the head and on dipstick looks clean and perfect

i'm hoping the comp readings are timing related, and if you think the lower comp readings were from cylinders 1 & 4, both on thesame stroke position...
 
Nice to see you're taking it easy this time with regards to stripping the head off. Slowly and surely wins the race.
 
fingers crossed and if it was that then im going to smash your back doors in soo hard that the aftermath will be like a microwaved cherry bakewell tart
 
Looks off.
No 1 cylinder cam lobes should be equally facing away from each other. The inlet is off.

You should then have 20 links between the sprocket timing dots.

Should be like this without the chain slack........

Dont worry about the mayo it may be residue stuff from the last problem.

cylinder 1: 260psi
cylinder 2: 260psi
cylinder 3: 250psi
