Sorry about your grief on this job.

You might rest up and try timing again.
Since it hard to turn the IP with the Hard Lines on during the Drip Timing they are better off removed.

I also think it is best to have someone else pump on the Hand Primer to keep the Fuel Supply Pressure even; while you Rotate the Fuel Injection Pump and count the Drips is extemely helpful.

When I did mine I found a safe place to us my large Channel Locks to grab onto the Fuel Injection Pump. This gave me a lot of leverage and allowed me to tap/bump the handel and rotate the Fuel Injection Pump tiny amounts.

It might be that the Fuel Injection Shop that did the Fuel Injection Pump might also do the timing.
