Same happened to me when garage did the head and put the timing 180 degrees out.
I put it right myself, I took the cam bearing caps off and just tilted one of the cam shafts. It's a pain to re-align but worked ok for me.
Don't drop the cam chain into the crankcase

i've read on here somewhere (cant find the thread right now, your have to traul a cct search) that using a coat-hanger or similar object to hook the chain up while the cam slides out. this makes the job easier and works as a fail-safe to stop you loosing the chain inside the engine!

Do a search on CCT's here and you will find a wealth of information!
