Did you check and make sure the timing marks are lined up properly?

Yes,I think that may be the crank could be off a little bit.Would that cause my problem?

Yes but make sure you look at the marks on the timing Gear setup.

Don't go by the outer pulley it might have spun making the timing mark off.
