OK we've had our fun - what about the OP's problem
Here's my advice Sethza - look through the information and see if you can find a way that suits you to determine if TDC on #1 cylinder coincides with the timing marks or not.

I'd then go for the 2mm lift method to check chain elongation - this is one thing we can all agree on (I think!) then you'll know for sure whether the engine is set up correctly or not.
