The easiest way to check is to just remove the gear covers, I could do it through the peek holes, but it's a pita, best just to be 100% sure.

this is what I was thinking. OP tell your mech to check the cam teeth very carefully. Assuming that everything checks out (as the mech seems to think timing is spot on, turn your attention to the fuel system (test the pump, filter and FPR).

Be VERY careful with steel hammers around fuel. I would highly recommend the rubber hammer or if you need 'denser' impact strength go with a brass hammer (no spark). Of course if your mech is doing all this then he ought to know, or at least have decent insurance for his shop and the cars in it!
