15 degrees is right +- 2 degrees

check your timing chain guides, could be the cause

There must have been something else going on....And I thought knocking was due to advanced timing?

Well it doesn't matter now. The Pos blew up on me on my way home. Don't know exactly what went wrong but it wont crank (seized). Maybe it threw a rod, maybe the timing got fucked. But the engine is fucked...
