That's cool, I think you were lucky.

It must run better, as the ignition timing would have been out, do you have hotter cams out of interest? (i.e. BD14)

Incidentally, I have just changed my cam belt.

The only thing I would say from experience is the tension, it should be tensioned when the engine is hot, as the belt gets tighter.

You should be able to twist it through 90° the longest run.
