So, 2 1/2 teeth off........ 35deg.

I'd be doing a leak down test.

With the key straight up and the top gear dot straight down, the cam is advanced 2 1/2 teeth.
This almost always results in the intake valves running into the pistons...... Unless the valve pockets are really deep and/or the cam is really small.
