some pics, not the best as difficult in the cold and crap lighting. 

crank mark is right on the timing pointer.

cam sprockets are both tdc with marks as noted when stripping.

cams - the intake wasn't separated from the sprocket so can't have moved.  exhaust cam and sprocket were split but are keyed back into same position.

here's hoping someone can see the pics and advise what to do next.  cheers
Pics become visible when you click the links, but not a drop box user, so can't fix them as images... :-[

Bolt the head back on, put the belt back on and test the compression before putting too much back on.

Pull the fuel pump fuse or something if you dont want fuel everywhere, same with the spark.

As mentioned leave the exhaust/manifold disconnected if you can.

crank mark is right on the timing pointer. What you need to do is take the auxiliary belt off. Undo the 4 bolts and take the crank pulley off and then have a good look at the timing mark that is on the crank itself. Do not go by the timing mark on the pulley wheel. I'm wondering if you have put the pulley wheel back on in a different position to how it came off. This would explain a lot. See photo for the correct timing on the crank.

okay,managed to get better pics in daylight.

Am still unable to get the pics to show, so please just click on the links. Hope they work.

Andy - the crank timing mark was my first check - all ok in that regard.

Thanks to others who have posted very helpful images and descriptions so far.

   Cylinder 1  On the pic can only just make out that on the exhaust side,the cams are at about 3 oclock and that they will open the valves next time piston is at the bottom of its stroke.. So that looks good

cannot make out the inlet cos the picture is bad.. can you not get a camera and get them two pipes out the way of the inlet cams on cylinder 1  :y
