I was wondering if it would be possible to bunch the chain up and move it over one tooth. I wouldn't want to unbolt the sprocket and risk dropping the chain, I'm not that proficient a mechanic to deal with that. Thanks for the advice.
I think the mechanic should fix this for free. Of course one wonders about having him touch the car at all.
I remember, after he installed the chain he positioned the crank at TDC using the marks on the balancer and looked at the marks on the cam tower to see if he missed a tooth. I was there at the time and thought it was odd that they didn't line up exactly, but I didn't know any better. I think he underestimated the amount of degrees the engine moves in relation to how much the cam moves and he must of thought that everything was set correctly. This is all speculation though. I'm going to have another mechanic look it over and then I'm going to pay a visit to the other one.
