Nothing I see there worries me. If you put a ratchet on it as if you are removing the belt...it should be a consistant pull when removing tension from the belt and it should return to tensioning the belt each time you let it go. Try this about 4-5 times.

I'd try it 3-4 times and look for the same result. However..I know that my tensioners do the same slight movements.

Meanwhile...please double check the tensioner and report back.

I didn't count... It was a joke.
But yup, the tensioner is ok. No slippage, I revved it up quite a bit and had a few neighbor kids come over and look at the engine in awe, and of course, one noticed that it was pink under the hood!
