IMHO don't do it with the engine running, one slip can end in the pulley coming out of alignment, chewing the belt covers and the belt coming off and the valves ending up somewhere in the intercooler... It can be done, but I'm not a fan of it, it's so easy to just turn it off, tweak, restart...
Within the small adjustment you have on the slots, you cannot cause any damage if you just start it to see...
You should hear just a slight "clack" on idle - veg oil will dull this down, since it burns so much slower, hence you need more advance...

Above is probably a bit excessive... But somewhere between that and what you have now...
