sorry for any confusion but i think its an error on your marks, im not quite sure which marks you have on your flywheel , if they are stamped EP and TDC or at all, but if your pistons are hitting the valves then the camshaft is in the wrong position when the piston is coming to TDC , if you have the cam wheel set right, then this interference this can only be as you have put the belt on with crank set on the wrong mark.
if you have TDC in the window EP is 109 deg BTDC
my slot did not locate in hole at either EP or TDC
do you mean you inserted and locked tool into the flywheel slot or lined up with a mark and was this EP or TDC, the hole is there for slots and the marks are for viewing in the window against the arrow (if you had one or something similar)

mine didnt have pointer but i quickly made one to make things simplerMy flywheel does not have EP marked on the flywheel mark as shown in the book, just the mark! Also I do not have a pointer in the window (I doubt it ever had). When I put the cylinder 1 at TDC the mark is exactly where the pointer would be (according to books) not where the locking tool would put it. Now I have the head off I can test....at TDC the mark is in the window - with tool locked in the crank is 2 teeth clockwise!
my slot did not locate in hole at either EP or TDC
I then rotated the crank until the EP mark on the flywheel was in the hole on the flywheel housing and the special tool inserted and locked.
So, I now assume that the crank and the camshaft are both set at EP..........correct me if I'm wrong.
I also set the Distribution pump wheel lined up dot with arrow (this was calibrated with the special tool previously but verified again just for completeness).
