I'm still new to all this since this is my first bike. I have a hypothetical/not so hypothetical question involving cam timing and valve adjustments. So let's say someone was conducting a valve adjustment and accidentally stripped the hell out of one of the adjustment nuts on one of the rocker arms and bought a replacement on ebay. Then took off the camshaft bearing caps to slightly lift the camshaft up just a tiny bit in order to put the replacement rocker arm in. If the teeth stayed in the same position as before, is the cam timing the same as if no one had ever touched it to begin with?
