Sorry to say, those motors aren't very happy when the chain breaks. About 95% likely you've got some bent valves. If the chain got kinked or wrapped around the lower sprocket, it may have damaged the timing cover or chain guides as well. You may be looking at a junkyard motor as the most economical solution to this problem...
