either the pin or the timing chain. yanker up outta there and have a look. it may not look spun as the remains of the pin will still be in the holes in the gear. Be aware that something made it strip, usually somethin has gone through the oil pump. When i used to install engines once in a while a bristle from a wire wheel would make it to the pump. only ever upset fords though. its a weak link.

i have been told the timing chain may have jumped. it turns over but wont start and it sounds unormal when turning over.

if it seems to turn over too fast , and based on the mileage i would say its timing chain. If when you get it apart it has nylon gears and they are stripped its goin to require pulling the pan for a a good cleaning. I know it doesnt sound like fun but that stuff could potentially get to the oil pump and stop it. gl
