Just took another run. It will smoke the tires as long as I keep my foot in it so I guess everything is OK. Not giving any codes at this point so I guess we will keep driving it.

I talked to Volvo tech at the dealership and he told me line up the little tick marks on the engine side of the crank gear, this is six teeth off from where I took it apart and the car will run but sounds so bad I shut it right off.
