IIRC you need to worry more about the sparking plugs on this engine.

If the car is so low mileage it could be that servicing has been few and far between. pmh is right about the spark plugs, if they are the originals and have never been out of the head then be extremely careful when you remove them. Have been known to snap off, then you have a real problem.
Also, cam chains are good but last longest when oil is changed regularly. If it still has the original oil in the engine, or it has been in for 12 months or more, I would give it an oil and filter change now.

Take or have your plugs taken out and have the threads copper-greased-or fit new plugs with plated threads(NGK or Champion)-I'd use grease on these as well just as overkill.

Yeah, I tried to remove the original spark plugs & 'snap' the first one broke off. Unfortunately the car was at my work & on telling my recovery what I'd done they refused to recover me. If I had just said that I'd broken down they would have attended & recovered me to a garage. If you do decide to remove the spark plugs yourself then apply lots of penetrating spray & get the engine hot.
