Welcome back:
It may be easier to just check engine compression. If the timing is off, it will be low.
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-test-engine-compression
Here are the directions for timing chain replacement. I'm adding them to help if you are checking timing. All attached pictures correlate with the directions.
