if the cams or the engine didn't turn, no problem. the idler tensions the loose side of the chain. the other side remains reasonably tight. if the engine is on TDC #1 when the tensioners are removed, the cams will stay there, unless you try to turn them, or do so by mistake. it never hurts to rotate the engine by hand a few times when you're done to be sure there's no valve to piston contact. it's also nice to check the cam timing in the end, if you have the equipment.
