I have no clue when the last time the timing chain was changed if ever. I am totally ok with replacing it if it’s risky.
Are you suggesting that I would probably have more luck just adjusting my ip timing?

It is one of the possible causes. I had late timing on my Volvo Diesel as I had inadverntaly got the timing late and it put out billowing clouds of white smoke that smelled like fuel. Re-timing it fixed it. It is one of the remedies that might work that is not labor intensive nor cost much.
You can look at pelican parts and they may have a picture of the offset key. It is a Woodruff type key but one side of it is staggered.
The write up would be here if there is one (the 2mm method is in there):

If someone would post a free online factory service manual it is in there and how to determine which key you need.
