If the PO didn't know what he was doing, and only went by the timing marks, the engine could have been 180* out when he removed the old t-chain.

The appearance of not being opened up doesn't necessarily mean it hasn't been, not everyone will clean engine components before rebuilding it, especially if they are in a hurry.
