While taking out my solid lash adjusters and putting back all of my followers I mistakenly turned the crank while my wedge took was in place on the left bank. The wedge tool I have never really fit all that snug, so the crank moved fairly easily. I never noticed slack in the chain at certain crank positions prior to all of this, but then again I was never looking for it either. When the crank is at TDC, the tensioner compresses and there is a lot of slack in the part of the chain that sits on the lower guides. I turn the crank and it tightens up as the tensioner comes back out.
Is this normal, or did I fuck something up by turning the crank with wedge tool in place? The right side does not have nearly as much slack at any position while clocking the crank. Does oil pressure take care of this under load and I am just over thinking this, or should I replace chains/tensioner?
