I just pulled both valve covers off and the timing chain appears to still be in place and tight. The rails do look brown but they are there and I can't see any broken ones. I had recently ordered a new chain and rails and I got them today. Now the problem. When I got in the car today it would not turn over. Sounded like the motor was binding somewhere. It only clicked when I tried to turn it over. It was about a block from home so we used another car to push it home. When we got there I tried one more time to turn it and it turned over. But I had the plug wires off so of course it didn't start. It turned a couple of times and seemed to bind again. What could be causing the binding?? If the timing chain isn't the culprit what else could it be?? Something else wierd, there is oil all over the passenger side valve cover. The gasket was just replaced and wasn't leaking before. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
