Yeah I thought so, which is why I think timings fine but for it to be the same issue on the side, either it's the timing again or it wasn't that at all

Could bad fuel cause this misfire in only bank 1, feels unlikely but would like to check my options before pulling car apart again

Have you got any codes now, or just misfire? Sounds bloody frustrating. It won't be bad fuel, I don't reckon, and if you followed that Cloyes video and the manual, lined up is lined up when it comes to timing. Probably not that to begin with if all is good and you got the same issue you started with.

Did you say you checked the exhaust? Could cat be blocked?
The other option is the classic VZ dodgy ECU misfire issue. I think there's a sticky on that?

Did you use eBay spark plugs?
Could be fake branded plugs. That would do it.

Nah, from repco, ngk platinums, car stalled before while running and now I can't restart it, cylinder 12345 misfire codes, generally it's just 1 3 5 but sometimes throws 2 4 in with it

Go back and do the earths. I’ve said it a few times. I’ve written how to do it.
