Ain't no thang!
The motor rolling back by itself a bit while under compression.
The cam chain tensioner stayed in proper adjustment as long as you
had the cams bolted down when you were rotating the motor.
I did the same thing, forgot to put the spring and bolt back.
Might be worse if you didn't remove the adjustment bolt and spring
before lifted the cams to replace your shims and induced enough chain
slack to ratchet the cam chain adjuster to the next tightest position.
This would make for a pretty dam tight cam chain once you torqued
your cam caps back down.
Your ok, get the dam thing put back together and do some ridin!
Bad weather is coming tommorrow!
