Default Timing

Long shot but, does the timing chain have multible keyways so you can advance or retard the camshaft? I've had 2 or 3 cars in my shop over the years that had the timing chain installed wrong because of a mix-up on which timing marks to line up. It caused the camshaft to be retarded and caused poor idle and power.
