You can check how much slop is in chain by rotating the engine bacwards with the distributor cap off.That timing chain is pretty tough,but possible for it or the sprockets to give up..Check for a broken pin at the bottom distributor if all other checks are ok.
An old mechanic told me how to remember the four strokes-
Suck ,squeeze,bang,blow.If it don't run-your missing one.
Don't worry about valves hitting the pistons with the flathead.
