Because of the torque multiplication from first and second, you'd never really notice... Kinda like revving it in neutral.

Once the load hits the engine, the lack of torque causes it to fall flat on it's face.

It's quite simple to "walk" the chain around one tooth back. Just take the valve cover off, remove the bolt to the cam timing sprocket, pop it off while holding tension on the chain, and start from the passenger side. Move a link up a tooth, and continue working the slack link around the gear. Use a socket and breaker bar on the crank pulley to spin the engine a hair (if needed), and reinstall the sprocket with chain attached.

Takes 10 minutes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
