Ok my mistake on the finding the port timing. I can see now that the timing number is the amount of degrees the crancshaft will turn from when the exshaust port opens to when the exshaust port closes as it is rotated through the cycle. I had the misunderstanding that it was the number of degrees till the eshaust port opened from the tdc as it goes through the cycle.

Anyhow to properly set the timing it will be required to find true tdc.
