Irregular combustion could certainly cause some scuffing, and I would expect much more noise than a properly timed/running engine, you'd think that it would be noticable.

Jeff,
If the timing is way off you would. Just on the end of the allowable limit may not be that noticeable. I bet there would have been no MB repaired 350 that were not timed spot on or 1/2 Deg retarded.
