The gears are in time. Turn the engine over to move the cam 180 degrees. The crank will move a full revolution and your timing marks will be lined up.

Hey! You found the source of the noise! That was way over half of the problem solved. Also, you should be able to turn that NEW gear drive into cash.

NOTE: On a stock small block chevy, you can't get the timing chain cover off until you at least drop the front part of the pan. It's always better to completely remove the pan and clean the lip to ensure a good liquid-tight seal. When you re-assemble, be sure to put the timing cover on first.
