All good suggestions above. And I'll second the "broken chain, garbage motor" claim.
I found this to be funny....(always keep in mind that you are also saying that the counter of your comment to be true as well)

So laugh with me for a second. (tongue in cheek):
So when things are 'good' they are no longer 'interference engines' by industry terms, and there for 'non-interference engines'?
How does the motor change like that?
note: a Non-interference engine is unique in that the piston at top center, never comes into the path of the valve at full lift. In the case of timing component failure (belt, chain or otherwise) there is typically no damage.
Are you going to share pictures of your 'free SD' ?
