timingbelt wobble

I started my engine (7mgte) after the timing belt install without the top cover on just to make sure everything is ok. It has a slight "wobble" front to back in what seems to be one spot on the belt (hard to tell when runing). I cant see any pulleys wobbling exept the oil pump pully and it looks like the face may not be true and the "movement" is much more frequent or rapid than the belt movement and the crank pully is new. When I pulled the old belt I noticed what appeared to be tiny bits or rubber residue inside the timing cover but the belt looked ok. Is this movement anything to worry about?
