I suspect that might be the case since the crank pulley and bolt were fully off with the accessory belt just there.

Shouldn't be out of time. The timing gear is keyed to the crank inside of the timing cover. Working out from the assembled block on the crank snout you have the timing gear(keyed to crank), timing cover(oil pump is housed in the timing cover), crank pulley spacer(indexes on the same key as timing gear and the flats drive the oil pump), and crank pulley. The crank pulley spacer has a pin that indexes to the crank pulley. You would have to pull the key to get it out of time. What where you doing when you had left a wrench on the crank pulley?
