1989 Isuzu Truck 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Removed and cleaned heads, replaced. Lined up #1 on the pulley crankshaft. Got it all in line with the camshaft. When came time to start camshaft timing runs away. Also, is the firing order 1, 2, 3, 4 or 1, 3, 4, 2?

Firing order is; 1-3-4-2.
What do you mean by "the camshaft timing runs away"? Does it shread the belt or what? Please advise.

camshaft jumps out from the #1 position, timing goes off.

Now you have me totally confused. WHAT do you mean by "the camshaft runs away"? The cam can't jump out of #1 TDC position unless either the belt jumps or the cam or crank sprocket is moving.

If you think the belt is jumping a notch or two. Time everything out and mark the belt and sprocket positions with a piece of chalk or something and spin it over. This will gige you a reference point.
It's 1:00am here, I'm going to bed, it's been a busy night.
