1.) My timing came out to be ~~15 deg BTDC. Spec is 24 deg. I already know my timing chain is off ~5 degrees, so my IP is off ~5 deg.
There is not necessarily any correlation between valve timing and injection pump timing.

2.) Fuel only welled up every other engine revolution. Is this supposed to happen?
A four stroke engine requires 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation to complete one cycle for a particular cylinder.

3.) I was cranking from the power steering and really having trouble being accurate. It was hard to increment it less than 5 degrees at a time. Can I improve the accuracy somehow using this method?
The longer the wrench, the easier it is to turn the crankshaft precisely. A 24" breaker bar works well.
