So, anyone know where i can get a chain thats not a rip off. I'll be getting the Verslavy tensioner and headplug as soon as I can afford them.
You need to check your valves.

If you haven't removed the chain, don't do this again.
and make sure the cam is at TDC with both lobes off the rockers.
Once you have the chain off and the lobes away from the rockers, do a compression test.
This will tell the difference between fixing it and digging a hole.
