Hello,
I agree if you received this vehicle not running and someone else had it torn down. And if you check the ignition system and have spark and have good fuel pressure. It wouldn't hurt to check it. I'm attaching schematics of the front of engine with the timing chain below and I'm adding timing chain Installation because there is a lot detail that needs paid attention to also.
