Yes very much so. You will see that just a tiny sliver of movement has an effect on the timing.

BTW the preferred method doesn't use that locking peg or twisting the IP about on its bracketry. Instead you loosen the rear cam sprocket and rotate it slightly about the end of the camshaft to get the desired timing value.

Here is the IP timing sticky (start at post #2)

Useful (I consider them necessary) tools for this procedure:

Top two in this photo, the offset wrench for the camshaft sprocket bolt, and the sprocket holder
