It's a BIG job. It requires removing everything from the top of the engine (intake manifold, throttle body, all plumbing, valve covers) then removing the harmonic damper, most of the accessories, and then the timing cover. That's just to get to the timing chain. You have to remove the chain guides and tensioner, then cam gears and crank gear. If you're going this route, also replace the two chains (intake cam to exhaust cam) on top of the heads, the water pump, and the tensioners. Be very precise in reinstalling the three timing chains so that everything is in time.

The timing marks are not properly aligned or the distributor is not aligned properly.
You'll need to get a service manual for the exact settings, make sure that after you set the marks you rotate the engne 2 complete revolutions & recheck the marks prior to reassembling the covers. Double check the distributor timing as well & check for any possible vacuum leaks from hoses or gasket problems.
If your chain had broken originally, then you possibly have some upper engine valve damage that will have to be diagnosed. A compression test will reveal any bent or broken valves.
Check intake gaskets. Pour warm soapy water on the gasket when it's running. If it bubbles like crazy, you have a leak. 2. Check timing. Shoot a timing light at the crank mark. If it jumps around a lot, your chain has jumped. #3. check cam. Remove valve covers, run the engine, and see if they are all raisng the valves the same. Put a piece of cardboard along the bottom, and fold it around a little, so it forms kind of a " half valve cover". That way you won't lose oil everywhere, and make a mess, or a fire.
