Go back, this time leave the spark plug in, just use the timing mark inside the left side cover plug. YOull know its on compression, cuz it wont wanna turn. Crawl it up there, allowing the compression to bleed thru the ring gaps. Itll wanna roll on past TDC a few degrees as the piston rod/crank pin come past the fullest extension the crank can give it, but thats okay. Its not far enough to roll the cam into contact with a lifter. Check the adjustments, make sure youre using the thousandths & not mm measurements on the feeler gauge & make sure you keep the adjuster in place as the jam nut is tightened. REcheck after everything is tight before the valve covers go on,
The threads on the adjuster screw & rocker arent that great & they lift the adjuster away from the valve tip just a hair as the jam nut comes tight, so its a bit fussy getting it right.,
Thats all I can think of & Im done for the day. Wish ya the best.
