How have you confirmed that it is not 180 out? If you have not done it this way, I suggest it. Remove #1 plug. bump the engine with the starter until you feel compression trying to blow your finger out of the hole. Then manually rotate the balancer until it lines up with 0 degrees and check rotor position. The symptoms you describe sound like 180 out. I have had one kick my *** before that was 180 out and I had "check it" several times before.
