That's great news, alick.

I think you should buy a lottery ticket today because you definitely lucked out here! If the cams were inadvertently overly advanced, then the inlet valve might hit the piston as it could reach maximum lift before the piston has dropped far enough to accommodate it. (I don't know if one tooth is enough for that to happen.) If the cams are retarded then the motor will run really roughly, if at all. From what you reported, it sounds like they were retarded and, if so, no damage done.

A result!
