Ok it seems that the cam on the picture has jumped one teeth, and the cam obviously is still connected to the timing chain.
Question, if you 'loose' the chain tension as much as possible, would this allow you to rotate the cam (jumping teeth on purpose, one at the time) until you get back to the timing mark?
The cam phasing I have done in the past has always been on 'belted' engines, never with a chain which must be much harder, is this doable at all?
Or do you have to remove the valve cover to remove the chain from the cam sprocket, re-align the cam and then re-install the chain?
My questions here are pure curiosity and personal learning purposes, no criticism intended to anyone else comments.
