Sorry I can't help on that

If you think its correct then it probably is, rotate the engine 2 full revolution to make sure nothing "hits", lol, and timing marks come back to where they were

Well the thing that I'm kind of worried about is the harmonic ballancer position. After I timed everything and made sure #1 cylinder was all the way up with the crank key at 12oclock. But when I put the harmonic pulley back on I noticed that gap between the teeth on the harmonic where not at 120clock and I thought that gap lines up with the crank key.

But anyways I looked at the crankshaft position sensor pointer and it was right on the "0" notch on the harmonic and the Haynes book says that where it should be I believe?

No, the tone wheel gap is set for the crank sensors location not TDC for the crank/cam timing

It looks to be in the correct position now

There is a picture here that shows that, 2nd to last: https://www.explorerforum.com/forums...timing.273780/

Not as clean as yours :)

Ok so it does look right?? Because when I was installing the harmonic balancer i was like wait a minute shouldn't that gap and the key way entry on the harmonic balancer be alligned with the crank shaft key set at 12ocklock? That's where it threw me off and I was so upset and toale matters worse I looked up harmonic balancers online and they all look they there allighned
