How to swap heads quickly.

I bet $10 bucks that the little bit of cam movement made the hydraulic tensioner extend all of the way out, congrats.

It's an auto adjusting tensioner, so that wouldn't matter. The car runs great now.

Its actually a hydraulic rod that provides tension over the length of a typical belt cycle/revolution. If the tension is not correct to begin with (on the pully/tensoner rod not centered) it is very likely that the tensioner will eventually run out of range and not compensate on during a high rpm condition, or start-up/shut-down stress.

Correct, an auto adjusting tensioner.
