If you re-read the write up, you will notice that the most important thing to tell that the timing is correct is to line up that one single notch so that it is perfectly pointing to the right, and then see if the cam-notches are parallel to the engine cases.
That notch is the important one, and you will adjust the other notches to line up with regards to it. When it is pointing perfectly to the right, if everything is fine, then the notches on the cams are lines up. If everything isn't set right, then the two cam notches are not lined up.
Your description means that your cams are out of time.
You need to align them, and honestly, it sounds really, really easy.

Actually, no it's not. The "timing marks" that the factory tools hold are on the NON-driven side of the cam. I'm still not exactly sure how Insite managed to hold the cams EXACTLY parallel to the valve cover/ head seam without the tool.
These engines are actually very tolerant of small timing errors, and I'm sure that Insite is within the allowable limits, but it's not how I'd do it.
