Re: 79 rocco idle to high....?

You will not hurt anything, but your cam timing will not be right and you 
won't get optimum performance.  You can try advancing the cam one tooth to 
give you some low end torque, but you won't have much high end.  The 
adjustable sprocket just lets you adjust timing in smaller increments.

Of course, if your head has been shaved enough to be an interference motor, 
you need to be more concerned with damage.  I can't believe that the PO was 
such a bonehead that he shaved the head and didn't put an adjustable 
sprocket on!  What was he thinking?!
