YES bad things can happen, ranging from valve float, excessive cam wear or piston to vlave contact (expensive!). The only way to check them is to readjust them. I know how to do it but I am not sure I know the best way or can explain it well.
Best of luck

I THINK you loosen the roller rockers until you hear a slight tapping. and then tighten it a 1/2 turn I belive.
