The single cam on the 250 does not act directly on the valves. It pushes 2 rocker arms, one intake and one exhaust, up and each rocker arm pushes its 2 valves down.

+1 on Water Warrior's comment. One, ore maybe even 2 teeth out and it might still run, but not well. Any more than that and you risk hitting a valve with the piston and putting yourself back to square one...
