i was wondering what happens when your timing is off just a tooth?

 

your car will drive/sound like ***. you should never drive around like that when you start it up you will know something is wrong, it may not do much damage but you are close to it/

 

I agree it'll sound like @$$ depending which way it's off. You'll also feel a definate difference in the power output and yu'll be getting crappy gas mileage. And you'll definately be close to damaging things in the engine.
