Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out!! I have a 2000 mustang gt 4.6l 2v Windsor. I just bought it and it needs to have the timing chains replaced do to a bad tensioner. So after taking the car in the shop to be looked at I decided to do the job myself to save coast for future in parts. I previously owned a 94 mustang gt that I did a lot of work on and felt confident in doing the timing chain guides and tensioner.
So I got everly thing removed and sure enough the tensioner and guides are bad and the chain is lose. Here is where things go BAD!!! I missed a step and DID NOT SET THE ENGINE AT TDC before removing the tensioner so when I loosened the tensioner the passenger side cam moved from its location and I heard three clicks. I looked over and sure as the cam slipped from where the tdc mark was sitting before. I then panicked and re installed the tensioner so it wouldn't move more and thought i should attempt to get the engine to tdc. So I turned the crank and it turned a couple small rotations then I can not move the crank anymore in a clock wise rotation so I stopped and here I am PLEASE HELP WHAT SHOULD I DO
