    I'm putting the head back on my 2.7, and I've been doing it step by step with the FSM. However, I realized that when I took the timing chain tensioner and cam sprocket off, there was nothing that I could see holding the chain to the crank gear. Is there a chance that the chain could slip off the crankshaft gear?
