installed cam, but didnt check dowel pin. help!!

i just had the engine builder install the cam and degree it, but i just remembered that i didnt check the dowel pin length. i read in shoebox's schematics and it says that non-vented opti's(mines a 93) arent driven by the dowel pin. should i worry about it or should i just leave it like that? would hate to tell the guy to pull out the cam and then reinstall it. help me out guys what should i do?

Correct, it is not dowel pin driven, so it shouldn't be an issue Your cam is driven by a geared hole in the timing set.
