**found my answer after extensive googling it is normal for it to move, according to various posts**
Hey guys, I'm working on a 2001 Mercury cougar with the zetec with VCT. I just got the new timing belt on and when I rotate the crank I noticed the pointer on the tensioner moves as compression builds but then as I pass that point it returns to centered on the line.
I have replaced this belt before on my focus but didn't notice this, I just want to be sure before I put it all back together.
