Like I said a few posts back, this same thing happened to me. I turned the engine, by hand slow..clockwise, ....engine wont go any more, the valves are coming in contact with the top of the pistons. I bunched up the chain and, moved it one tooth on the cam sprocket. Does the engine turn now? Nope , I bunch the chain and move it 2 teeth the other way, it turned. I then got the chain rolled in and then checked the cam and crank marks to make sure. Anyway thats what worked for me. I dont think you could hurt anything by trying that.
