 Not to cloud the issue even more but, I have been checking the belt tension with a "belt-tension gauge" and even with the engine cold, it also matters were the belt is in relation to the timing ............. not sure why.

I took a reading of 140lbs at a randon place when the engine shutdown, then aligned the TDC and cams and got a 110lbs reading, which seem's to be a good tension poundage so far.
