380sl timing chain continuing

I remove the plugs and checked the compression on a couple of cylinders and it seems ok. I then decided that it must be a chain problem. I left the plugs out, disassembled the front of the engine compartment, radiator, hoses everything that was in close proximity to the job at hand. I removed the drivers side valve cover and found the rail broken in half. I removed the tensioner and then replaced all the rails on both sides and attemnpted to replace the chain. That's where I am still at. I believe I wil try to get the chain on and the timing correct, then put what is needed back on and try to crank it. I always loved this car. If I have to, I'll do it all again. I am in need of a radiator though. Any good radiator shops out there. thanks keito
