Chris,
"we" know where the real timing marks are, but Jack doesn't have the plastic belt cover with the notches. He has to go with the whiteout marks for which he only has one reference point in the intake cam - makes things a bit more nebulous.

From the picture, he is really close. Close enough to not have valve interference and let the engine management 'time' itself.

I think his noise is because the exhaust is not bolted down sufficiently. He did use some 'copper' gasket spray which might have left spaces for the exhaust to escape along with combustion noise.

Once he gets a new cam cover to verify timing, he should be in great shape.

Klaus
