So, this is the final installment of my timing belt saga. Took it to the mechanic this morning. He redid the timing. He said it was only a few teeth off. As I suspected the crankshaft was not properly seated on the gear. He said it didn't do any damage, but it was not good. Hopefully it didn't weaken the gear in anyway.

I really do like to try things when it comes to repairs and I've done quite a few things on both this car and our BMW. On this car there are things that are pretty easy to fix/replace (like the thermostat, expansion tank and radiator). But this timing belt repair really threw me off. I don't think I will attempt it again. But who knows, maybe I will change my mind in 50K miles.

Many thanks to all who have advised me through this.
