Of course it is. How do you think a mechanic sets the cam timing after changing the belt?
Stock gears aren't adjustable...
when a mechanic sets cam timing; all that is being done is getting the belt on the correct teeth on the cam since 1 tooth is equal to about 9 degrees. Being 1 tooth off on the gear would cause the car to run like total crap.
I accidently installed my cam 1 tooth retarded once and there was NO power at all...felt like a geo metro or something. One cam tooth made the difference between having uncontrolable wheel spin through third gear when it was right and hardly enough power to accelerate when it was wrong.
