If you spin the counter shaft in neutral, it won't turn the input shaft. If you turn it in gear, it will turn the engine.
Pull the basket out and spin the pump by hand. Just stick a 1/4in drive extension in one of the oil pump gear holes, and give it a spin.
If you would like I can walk you through degreeing cams over the phone. The hardest part is setting up the dial indicator so it doesn't touch the cam lobe, or cam journal.
I haven't read your thread, but did you change cams, or spacer the cylinder at all?
