Yes, looking at the flats either side of the camshafts where tool 12-173 locates they can - the camsensor senses the inlet camshaft, so if both cams were 180 out the engine would run fine, but it could be that you have the exhaust cam 180 degrees out in relation to the inlet cam, and getting the exhaust stroke where the compression stroke should be.

As Phil says, when set correctly the exhaust cam lobe on number 1 cylinder is at 1 o'clock and the inlet cam lobe is at 11 o'clock looking from the timing chain end.

I'm not that far away, in Bordon, if you need a hand.
