    Greetings,

    Replaced the head gasket in my daughter's 2012. Timing has been my challenge. Set it according to the repair manual, but didn't replace the tensioner on my first try so it skipped a link. Lined everything up with a new tensioner and it appears to have skipped a link (or two) again. Crank shaft has a serious tick. The pictures are as it currently sits following my second try. Does this look right? I think I need to set the the crankshaft back to the "0". Any advise appreciated.
