    That really depends on the system. Is it an single/double overhead cam? push rod?

    Mark,

    If it's push rod, then it shouldn't need a timing chain.

    Push rods can sometimes get bent and this will effect the valve actuation. Some pictures of the inside of your engine would help A LOT.
