The only other thing that comes to mind is since you don't know about the so called rebuild, maybe time chain slipped a tooth or is loose.

I'd start from basics, gte engine set to TDC and then check wires and all.
The problem with that, is nothing has changed between now and the last time the engine was running.

When in doubt, start over.
Re-time the motor just like you would with a fresh rebuild.
Yeah, well until I saw what I saw with my timing light I didn't want to admit that. Still hard to accept since it was just running last week. Its only 3.7 hours to set the timing... I'll probably have to.
