He had similar problems. Pics of the problem are on posts 79 and 81. He lined up the dot for the keyway instead of the dot on the tooth. He's not the first to do that.

I've done this by mistake and it cause all kinds of havoc! cam timing was way off and although she did run, she had no power and wouldn't get above 30. Also sounded like a diesel.

Pull that cover off and triple check the timing with a piston stop and a degree wheel. Cams can be ground improperly as well.
