Are four-engined airplanes calibrated to put out the same thrust for both their inner and outer engines?
If the fuel control is hydromechanical (old engines) or electronically trimmed hydromechanical (not so old engines designed in the 70s and 80s), you set each thrust lever to achieve a target value on the fan RPM (N1) indicators or Engine Pressure Ratio indicator (EPR) indicators (for a pure jet).  Each engine will be set to its takeoff thrust setting, which should be the same for each since they are all the same model, but the thrust levers may or may not quite line up due to mechanical and other tolerances (there are limits).

On some modern airplanes with Full Authority Digital Engine Control, you move the levers to a detent setting, usually one for climb and one for take off, that is created by a roller running in a track inside the quadrant for each lever, that drops into a dip in the track; you can feel it click into place.  

For takeoff you push them up through the climb detent to the takeoff thrust detent, so it's "click click". That position tells the FADEC computers to set takeoff power and the levers will all be perfectly lined up, the position being a function of the detents in the quadrant.  Of course, if it's got an autothrottle system, the computers take care of moving the levers as well.

In any case, the thrust settings for each engine should be the same, unless the airplane had engines with different thrust ratings inboard and outboard for some reason, and which would be an unpopular feature with most airlines.  I'm not aware of one.
