Yoohoo
Followed your advice; It's done.

Problems (snags) I had were not knowing the tensioner well, so didn't immediately take off and put the belt on again, 'cause it took ages without realizing the tensioner capabilities in reducing adequate tension, and it was getting dark yesterday to enlist the wife to do it again.
Wow, the intake cam turns!
Not easily, but if you clasp your thumbs in there, into the pulley, and twist it will turn. The exhaust pulley on the other hand turns against perhaps valve pressure but it reverts to a seated position if you let it go. So, that's easier to manipulate as it finds it's own anti-tdc just by letting it go. My intake cams had moved suddenly when I was pulling the belt but I thought the sound was the belt snapping not the pulley turning hence my errors like that and the crank which must have moved as well.
It's all cool now.

So, thanks Klaus. Cheers.
Pretty fine engineering in these cars.
