Yes, if his timing chain is 6 degrees off of TDC he can restore all or part of the Chamshaft timing with an offset Key (if they make them for his engine) or as he said replace the chain. If he dose either of these he will need to retime his IP again as it is driven by the same chain.

But I think that the question is: What would cause is car to smoke at idle and not when he accelerates?
