It's a pushrod motor, so there's no cam chain to screw up. The cam and crank lined up during engine assembly, so the PO couldn't affect timing unless he dismantled the bottom end. It is possible that the keyway has sheared, but not very likely. You can drain the oil, remove the stator cover and have a look at the flywheel.
Have you set the valves?
