ummm before ou took off the cam sprocket .. did you use a wedge to keep the chain tensioner compressed cuz if you didnt.. you might have just ****ed yourself.... well not really. you just have a lot more work ahead of you...

The chain tensioner popped out a little (or all the way and is lodged against the curved chain guide)

You HAVE to pull the balancer (by hand, I've done it that way 5 times!) and front cover. You can have it off, chain on properly and back together in 3-4 hours.

As long as you get the oil pump installed on the correct tooth, you should be off and running assuming you didn't screw something up with the head gasket. But I can't say....
