OP, did you do a full rebuild or just a cam and head swap? Not trying to bust your bubble, just trying to follow along. While a cam and head swap is a huge deal for a newbie, and sounds like you were successful, its not technically a rebuild.
I put the timing MARK at "0", the dial on the timing gun was at 36. So if the dial is at 36, you want the timing Mark to be at 0 to actually equal 36
