It actually doesn't stop it !!!!
By putting bolt in rear all bolt has to hold plunger is the friction created between end of actuating rod and bolt !!It will make it a little harder to retract but it doesn't stop it from retracting.
Plunger can still BACK OUT (I have tried it) also if you do do this, do not overtighten it as you will jump the circlip of the front of the tensioner assembly to send the parts tumbling deep into the bowels of your engine.
