If your timing set had been replaced with an aftermarket then the spacer is more then likely gone as most aftermarket incorporate the spacer with their cam gear. I am assuming that you are doing a rebuild when I say this next statement.. jerk the crap out of it the only thing that would really get damaged is the cam bearings and/or the camshaft journals both of which you are going to replace with the rebuild anyway.....or should.
