I doubt the engine will actually run with 20 degrees off timing, the pistons will collide with the valves.

I measured the injection pump timing and it is off by the same 20 degrees. Since the timing chain and guide rails show no signs of malfunction and it didn't self destruct while I was driving I am going to guess that the goober that replaced the water pump did not install the pointer correctly. So I'm going to button it all back up and run lift pump pressure and compression tests to see what I can see.
