if the engine is left for a while they can look like they are a tooth out...
turn the crank over about 10 times with a spanner and then line up the the mark on the crank and see what the cams are like then....

the cams work in 1 full revolution yes... did you try rotating the crank... i nearly killed the guy i bought the 1.6 engine off cos i thought he sold me a engine that was a tooth out... its just the belt had slackened off for being left up...
