Found it...
Even though the 17mm bolt was tight, and the inspection mirror appeared to show the keyway was intact and in place, it's not. It's off. Wanna guess by how much? Thanks for your help, couldn't have done it without your ability to inspire me to go to the garage and look at this engine with pure hate. In the future, the bolt doesn't have to be loose and that can still appear to be intact BUT if all that goes unnoticed the engine will time substantially off. In my case, about 25 degrees off.
Your informational pages are awesome, by the way. Wanted to give full credit where it's due, and it's definitely due.
