16v cam tolerances

[JoshuaA.Conner at VerizonWireless.com (JoshuaA.Conner@VerizonWireless.com)]

That is the intercam timing.  It **MUST** be spot on.  The method for
getting it right now is torquing it down with two bearing caps on each cam
and then undoing it and shifting one  cam, one tooth at a time.  A real
PITA.  For future reference if you do a cam swap again the prescribed method
is to make a mark (wax pencil) on the cams and on the chain *before* you
take them out.  Then when you put the cams back in you just line the marks
back up.  The dots will NOT line up right out of the head if done right.
Confused?  Feel free to give me a call.  I have done my fair share of cam
swaps.  614-563-3695-Columbus Oh.

Hi:
Just finished rebuilding my 16v (first time)  I lined up my 
intake and exhaust cams real nice with the head, and then 
torqued it all down.  Now I look back at the cam gears, 
expecting to still see the middle of each dimple pointing at the 
head and I've found they've shifted!  Each is still aligned with 
the other, but now they point slightly down, below the surface 
of the head.  

My question being, can a 16v take this setup?  If not, can I 
loosen everything up and play with it more without messing 
anything else up?

Thanks
Dan
