Rice, cyl 1 and 4 will be both up at TDC when the cams and balancer are lined up correctly.
The book way faces the cam sensor tab 180 degrees off the timing tab on the housing. That's the issue with the book.
My way and the way MrB. posted is the same/correct way.

TDC^
I'm glad u got it running though, and figured out.
