He borrowed a cam locking tool and finished the job.
My understanding is there is 6 degrees of cam adjustment per cam. 3 degrees either way from center of the sprocket. Just what I've been told
I have never used a degree wheel on my car so I'm not 100% on the 6 degrees just a very reliable source told me that. I set my cams by valve off seat measurements with a dial indicator. Easier then setting up a degree wheel and much more accurate since it will give accurate cam timing with a streched chain and worn parts. The cam locking tool does not account for those worn items. This is how Metric does there cams and taught me how to do it.
