JLR / 2.0 Ecoboost Question

Independent shop tech here. 2016 JLR Disco Sport 4 cyl 2.0.

Inherited a car from a local lube shop that suffered the common blown apart vibration damper. We replaced the dampener with a Corteco part and timed/locked the motor with the factory cam lock and pully alignment jig. OEM JLR bolt, torqued to spec.

When setting base timing, we noticed the motor hits mechanical tdc before the cam lock goes into place. Not by much, but it's noticeable.

We got it back together and car cranks, has good compression, but won't run. Intake and exhaust cam position values are out of the range shown by our autel, but only 5-6 degrees. Has anyone seen debris inside the cover make it jump time, or the crank hub spin? Timing chain has tension and both upper cams are in time to each other.

I have zero experience with ecoboosts but trying to learn here. Non- keyed crank pulley is dumb as f.
