Those bare numbers look familiar but this is a specific minute range, notice the decimal: Factory specs I'm looking at shows setting range from 0.75mm - 0.90mm, depending on version. Checking timing range = 0.72mm - 0.95mm. Not sure what the + sign means.

NOT saying that is your problem, but the answer to your question is yes, engine can indeed run with IP 180 deg out.
