I've seen head gaskets make an entire bank go low... but it would be possible for the one tooth to change the compression a bit I suppose... haven't dealt with dual overheads much. Rather have a chain if I can...but if the time is off late, it could bend all the valves on that bank too, if it is an interference motor.

I vote "a" timing chain off one tooth. Vacuum leak won't do it, but off one tooth on the timing chain can cause one bank to have an open valve in all cylinders since on a dual cam setup one cam works the intake valves and one works the exhaust valves.

Ummmmm, on a DOHC V-8, I do believe that is physically impossible.
But read my retraction below, because I was wrong.
