ITS ALIVE!!
So, I gave up....I tried everything and reached my limit from a mechanical and technical point and she wouldn't start
Called my friend who owns a 2000 Quattroporte 2.8, he advised me to send it to a mutual friends shop in Dubai to diagnose the issue, loaded her up on the tow truck with every possible spare parts/tools I used.
Upon reaching there, she did the same thing, fired up and died a second later, he immediately diagnosed it to incorrect timing and I was adamant I followed the timing instructions from the manual to the word. He put a tissue on the TB while his assistant cranked, the tissue was pushed away rather than being sucked in confirming his quick diagnoses.
Gave him the car and the manual on a USB and let him work his magic, The shops around his have some great cars too

So here is what I did wrong, according to him, I followed the manual to the word but what the manual doesn't state is that the exhaust/intake on P side is intake/exhaust on the D side. What I did is time it exhaust/intake P side and exhaust/intake D side instead of flipping it around
My timing on D side was perfect but P side was opposite. When visually seeing the cam lobes compared to TDC, it was opposite. long story short, ITS ALIVE

Next up is the exterior and interior, Iv arranged with a detailing shop to use my car for their marketing and social media pages for before/after pictures & videos for a stupid cheap price (basically his cost price)
They will try to salvage as much as possible of the original paint where possible and smart paint the areas where its not possible. As for the interior, the 4 seats will be resprayed while the door cards/ dashboard/rear parcel shelf will get new leather. The wheels will be refurbed and calipers painted
In other news, Iv recently started a 3D business scanning/reengineering and industrial level 3D printing items for all my cars that are NLA parts, Iv given them my hood vents and been quoted $250 per piece. If anybody is interested, please let me know so I can push the price down on a bigger order
Iv also been informed that the front cam cover would be a requested piece and ill look into into feasibility, any other parts you would like to be 3D printed?
