Glad to hear this, makes me think maybe my issue is normal too.

This will also be noticed if the motor stops in the right place, the cams will turn into each other and the tensionor will compress. My car likes to do this, so I just turn the cam gears by hand and the slop goes away.

Thanks John. I don't think it flaps between the two cam gears, just between the tension pulley and the intake cam. I also read that it is normal that depending on where the motor stops to be a bit loose between the cams gears like you said.
Think what I am describing is normal or should I look into it?
