I suspect whatever went wrong already did it's damage - at this point it's more idle curiosity than anything else.
The car has been sitting since 2002 with a "seized engine." As I was taking it apart, I had a sudden flash that maybe it wasn't the engine that was seized, but perhaps a transmission issue. I removed the clutch, and remarkably I was able to spin the engine the wrong way 180 degrees (gently, by hand) then it stopped turning. Learned it wasn't the transmission, which is good...
I agree it's most likely the timing chain. It was getting dark outside so I figured I'd solicit some thoughts on the matter before I go back out today. I'll yank the valve cover and see what I can see.
