replacing my headgasket and I went to take my lower timing chain off. I removed the bolt that holds the sprocket on and then realized I wasnt really ready to pull the head at this point...So I tried to put the sprocket back and it seems like its like a centimeter too low and now I cant get it to line back up...when I pulled the sprocket I kept it tight in my hand so I dont believe it jumped a link but it does seem like the sprocket is sitting lower than it was and the hole in the sprocket where the bolt goes through is just slightly lower than the hole in the head...did my chain jump? Am I fucked? someone please help
