If you're doing this correctly at all, you're a tooth off at best.

thats basically how i got my car started after i fooked up my timing... remember to mark it next time you pull it out and put it back in the exact way you took it out, rotor and all.
i forgot to mark it myself; and ended up guestimating it. after a few tries, it started but it wouldn't idle smooth and i couldn't turn the dist enough to get it smooth. so i took it out and put it back in a few teeth back, and i had enough room to adjust.
maybe i was really lucky; but i don't think its THAT finicky to get it started as long as you're close to the proper position.
