[Vwdiesel] 180 off on pump? (was head gasket - black smoke)

[Will Taygan]

I'm thinking somehow I could be 180 degrees off on the timing.

With both cam lobes up, flywheel at TDC, how should I check if I'm 180 off on the pump?

I was going to hook up an injector to line #1, and hand crank the engine to see if it spurts at the right time.
 Any other techniques?
