Does this look right, the marks on the harmonic balancer are lined up, shouldn't it be facing 180 degrees from what it is to line up with number one cylinder

Keep in mind, the marks will line up twice per one revolution of the rotor. Verify that #1 is at top dead center, on the compression stroke. Looks more to me like it's point at #6 in your pic.

Are both valves closed on number 1? Try blowing some air into that cylinder, see what happens.

It shouldn't. I would more expect to have it backfiring, and make all sorts of rude noises. If the engine runs, then timing is at least close.
