I don't know, but if you remove the plugs and gently rotate the crank to 0 degrees on the firing stroke of number one cylinder and rotate the cam or cams to the same position. If you don't feel any interfeerence during the process you should be all right. You have nothing to lose at this stage of the game, any damage will have already been done. good luck and post what you find.
