Timing.
Hi stuvaux,
The five degree mark is where you need to set and line up these marks but you may then need to remove the timing chain and reset the camshaft timing marks at the front of the engine.

Cam-shaft thrust bolt.
Hi stuvaux,
Just a word about that nylon thrust you may find that the steel replacement you have fitted will be able to ware through the metal cover if it is able to float forward and make contact with it.
So check that there is a reasonable clearance for end float and expansion, steel expands with heat where if the nylon did it will not cause any damage.

Hi doujoy,
Thanks for the information on both things. Will hopefully get sorted today.

It's all set now as per flywheel marks and cam marks. It is still not quite firing however. How do I know for 100% sure that the camshaft is not 180* out? If the rotor arm is also pointing at the lead for spark plug #1, then surely the timing is spot on now?
Not sure why it's not firing up. It is definitely trying to but doesn't quite do it....

180*Degree.
Hi stuvaux,
If the cam -shaft is 180 out it certainly will not start but if you have set the timing according to the flywheel marks that means the crank-shaft is in the correct position, the cam-shaft should then be on its timing marks and should have number one cylinder with the lobs down and pressing on the valves and number four should have the lobs of the cam-shaft pointing away from the valves meaning that the valves on number four cylinder are closed on compression stoke.

Hi doujoy,
The camshaft was 180* out. Re set it and it fired up. Will just need some final adjustments in the morning. Thanks for all your advice. The moral of all this is make sure you make some of your own timing marks before taking anything apart!

Up and running!
Hi stuvaux,
I am very pleased to hear you have cracked it don't forget to tipex all those timing marks for any future work you might have to do it makes life a lot easier.

Hi doujoy,
Thanks!
Don't worry, the first thing I did was tipex timing marks on the crank pulley for future reference. Will use them for dynamic timing now too 
Thanks again for your advice, you were a great help
