if your timing chain broke, its most likely that you have a few bent valves. that might be the reason for the no start

It isn't likely, it IS. Don't, I repeat, DON'T!!! turn it over anymore until you take the heads off and see how much damage you've caused. There are many different ways to check for bent valves, but a broken timing chain just seals the deal. It's done, it's diagnosed, start wrenching.


...Just out of curiosity, how, or what, broke your timing chain to begin with?

I don't see how you could break the timing chain and not bend/break some valves. You need to tear it down and hope those heads didn't get too tore up also. Good time for an upgrade though.
