Ok, this is the same layout as my engine:
All of the pulleys move freely and none of them is (visibly) wonky or damaged, however the tensioner is the exception to this - it's hard to move by hand, not frozen but it's tough to tug it round.
Is this normal for a tensioner? I'd say no - but have no frame of reference for that, I just don't think it should have that much resistance.
