Message	So finally got everything back together only to get to the final steps to hear the engine tapping, guess that is how to describe it. What do I do from here? I'm assuming the worst but any suggestions would be appreciated. When putting the timing belt on all the markings definitely lined up. Will say that when the timing belt came off, the intake cam sprocket on the passenger side definitely turned violently(exactly as it said not to let it do), it then turned again when we were trying to get the markings to line up and I heard a tinging noise(again assuming the worst). Besides checking the secondary timing with a timing light what else should I look into? This site has saved me so many times in the past few nights I pray it can help me one more time. Thanks.
