Probably a better question to ask is "Based on what you're saying if this tightness in the revolution of the engine is caused by the cam lobes on the valve springs and not a worn cam chain, is this a problem, and if so what is the remedy?"
Pull out ruler, measure chain and do the easier test first. It's a binary black & white, all-or-nothing, yes/no answer to all your problems.
