Is the engine out of the car? If so, there is no time better than the present to fix this.
Here is what I would do:
1. Did you check the timing chain tensioner? Check it again.
2. Take the camshafts off and support the chain. Can you turn the crank now? You should be able to very easily (assuming you have the spark plugs out). If not, there is something wrong. Did you leave your wrench in the oil pan? :)
3. While the camshafts are off, inspect the valves. They should all be at the same level, or close to it. If one is down further than the others, suspect a bent valve.
If you decide to start it up without fixing this, make sure you have someone there to videotape it. I would love to see it. :D
P.s. - do you have a repair manual?
