Keep a couple things in mind. The cam timing uses the pinion gear timing mark (ignore where the flywheel and oil pump breather is). The oil pump uses the 40' advanced flywheel timing mark (ignore where the cam timing marks are). The info on the XLforum shows using the pinion timing for both.

Ok. Cuz when I time the oil pump and set the cams in the cam notch marks don't line up. But if I rotate the motor foward a bit all the cams line up but the motor is no longer at 40' advanced. Is that ok?

That sounds about right. Here's a couple shots showing the cams timed to the pinion, then the oil pump timed to the 40' flywheel mark.
