If you are saying that your timing belt is off a half of a tooth, you really need to do that before you try to do valve lash.

Yes, you can. When you do the valve adjustment, you just need to make sure that the valves are on the completely flat side of the cam and not on the lobe.

However, you REALLY need to fix your problem.
