It depends on how/when/where the motor stops. You can't base anything on the tension of the tbelt between the cam gears. Only way is to pull the cover and see how much of the tensioner piston is sticking out at TDC. In other words, unless you have another reason to believe something's not right w/the tension, then don't worry about it.
