hopefully the previous owner remembered to put oil in it...sounds like there is something seized somewhere, maybe one of the tension pulleys or the starter might have seized up. Hope you get lucky and it isn't anything in the motor.

How did you conclude the timing was off? You can't check the ignition timing because it doesnt run.
If the cam timing is off, it would have never ran at all. If either cam is one tooth off, the engine will not fire at all. Ever.
If you are saying it never ran before the rebuild, then yes the cam timing could be off.
