Ah sorry I was thinking you meant the mark on the flywheel. There is a little inspection hole on the gearbox with a few marks on it and a 0 and an 8. You want the mark on the flywheel level with the 0.
It shouldn't be between the 2 marks. It should be on the mark with 0. You've got it in the balance hole.
However this still wouldn't be enough to lock it up. The cams cut out for the tool is offset, and should be on the lower half of the camshaft. It does sound like you've got a cam 180...
172/182's aren't a usual car to do belts on. They have specific tools to do them, and the cheap and nasty pattern ones bend and give incorrect performance.

It's simple physics tbh.
Higher Ron, means you can run more ignition advance. More advance means you get more power per cycle. Which now means you can put less fuel in to get the same amount of power out.
You can check them for play, but that's about it. I always advise them to be replaced before having them apart. 9/10 they're going anyway. But sometimes the customers just want to get it done and as cheap as possible.
