Corsa 1.2 sxi petrol

Similar setup to a Ford in that can in end of cams and pin in block. Both cams being dephaser pulleys.
Big torx bolt out. Push pin in and turn crank until crank pushes against it (piston 1 at TDC though not 2&3)

So after having head off the cam bar is in, thus cams correct way round and pin in - but piston 1 with pin in is at BTDC by about an inch.

Does this sound right?
Guess I was expecting with piston to be fully at top dead like many fords.

Anybody timed up this chain driven corsa?
