I'll be willing to bet the chain guides are ate up and the chains are digging into the aluminum guides. You need to pull the front cover and inspect the guides. The rod and main bearings COULD be ok.(notice the emphasis on could) Pull the timing cover, both valve covers, a few cam caps, and a rod cap(needs new rod bolts, they are torque to yield) and take some photos to post here.
