602 timing chain moved 1 tooth now at 2 degrees before TDC on crank

I have moved the chain 1 tooth down on cam sprocket, which now puts me at 2 degrees before TDC on crank, with a new tensioner in and pumped up. I have pumped up the new tensioner till it is almost solid hard, it will stroke just a very little bit. Is this right ? The more I turn the motor over, the more the degrees would grow BTDC and more the tensioner loses it's hardness. I pulled tensioner, pumped it back up and repeated until deciding 2 degrees before TDC this is best I could get. Should I be alarmed to not be at 0 TDC ? Thanks for your help. Charlie Klippel
