Okay, here is your first problem, you put it at TDC. Is it really at TDC and you know this because you had the head off and set it there yourself, you say that the number 6 is a TDC too so I have to assume that they are in fact at TDC. You need to set the alignment mark for the crank where it belongs and this is not at TDC, it is actually quite a ways off. The instructors at Volvo school explain this as the sweet spot where nothing should hit when you go back together. So set the crank alignment marks and then install your cams and see how that goes.

Don't feel bad, the first one of these I did way back in the day had me scratching my head as well. All these years of setting the cams and cranks up on their alignment marks that were TDC and now with the white engine they threw that out the window.
