I didn't want to jinx it before my commute this morning but all is good.
I see how turning the crank 15-20* CCW put the tension on one side of the belt and the slack on the tensioner side. I rotated the engine a few times and rechecked the timing, everything was perfect.
It didn't want to start when I first got it all back together which scared me, it ran fine the day before. I tried clear flood mode, and after a few seconds of cranking, it started up and ran quiet and smooth.
I almost had a heart attack when I was putting the wheel back on and the air compressor fired up, it sounded like the engine was shooting to 9K and ready to blow up.
I'm not sure how I got so lucky, my guess is the low rpm when it tore the teeth and the vehicle not moving just allowed everything to shut down and stop rotating almost instantly.
Again, thanks for all the help and info I definitely appreciate it.

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...
