Yea Brandon you might not want to take the chance of letting the timing belt get loose and misalign itself on the crank pulley. I would make sure everything is lined up, just pop the timing covers off and take a look.

If you timing was off a couple of teeth in the first place, that could be the cause of your knock. I was getting lots of knock when my timing belt skipped a couple teeth, but then again I could hear audible knock after a bit of driving like that- eek.
