you sure it's the chain? or you broke those chain guides. either way, it's going to be swap or rebuild.

Sorry it took this long to get back to this.So i took my valve cover off to find out thatthe exhaust cam nut came loose so the bolts now stripped.couldve sworn i tighten that bi**h when i installed thenew timing chain... . I also did a compression testand found out that i have no compression in cylinder3 havent seen extent of damage yet on the piston but i decided im just gonna port the head and get that over with.
