    Extreme rookie question time...

    Confirming, where is the timing reference mark? The notch on the casing as arrowed or a pointed screw that is just out of shot inside the housing at the top of the inspection hole? None look like the pic in the manual.

    There was very little increase in HP from the 1.6 litre engine, just more torque:

    Can't help you with the timing mark. Maybe if you were to clean it up a bit it may become more clear. Strange circular part must be there for a reason.

    Do you know if the new rings were chrome? They tend to take a lot of bedding in. I don't believe that your compression test result is far off the mark.

    I did the timing on my Series I a while ago and I have a feeling that the pointer is on a separate pressed steel plate which is missing on yours.

    I'd have to get down the back shed to check, if I'm correct your timing would be a long way out. Mine was out but it ran OK, down on power and backfired when switching off, runs a lot better now.
