Its a 1999 car, so a 5 chain. I figure its already at TDC, so turning the engine should not cause any damage, granted I hold the exhaust cam locked in position.
Since our engines are "interferience motors" I doubt that you will be able to rotate the crank 360deg without the piston hitting the valves...
Perhaps you may be able to 'walk the cam' while rotating the crank to avoid interferience. (I did it a couple of months ago on the Alfa Romeo because forgot to lock the tensioner and the timing belt
jumped a theeth but was able to set the timing without removing the cams.
