Wow, how were you stopping the engine from rotating while trying to torque it down when the timing chain broke? With that much oil coming out it seems lik you should be able to pinpoint the leak. If the fan is slinging oil all over the place preventing you from finding the leak source you could take the fan off and just put the nuts/washers back on and run it. That way there's much less air movement and you should be able to see where it's coming from. I know it's a PITA, but you gotta do what you gotta do to find it ya know...
Sounds like motors on compression stroke if crank won't move by hand
Ive never had to torque a 22r crankshaft nut. I get em on till the motor turns over instead of the nut, and never ever had a problem.Ive never heard of someone breaking a timing chain tightening the nut. If that happened id be checking all the other parts of the timing system.The compression stroke is part of the 4stroke cycle of your engine.Im betting you have a leak from the timing cover itself, they are a pain to seal up right. It could be the front main, but those dont usually leak near as bad as your describing.
How does it look down around the oil pan by the timing cover? BIL's truck was puking oil, and that was the culprit. Ended up using a crap load of RTV to get it to stop leaking.
The biggest difference between sitting and driving is RPM, right? Have some one give it a little gas while you watch it.
Silly question but is your oil filler cap on tight, dip stick in all the way, Pcv cloged?Stick a go pro in there and drive it.
Before even thinking about a rebuild I would tear it down and see the extent of the damage.
I would find a good used motor locally that's ready to go and just drop in. Then you can set the old motor aside and do what you want with it.
A quick search found these guys they even give a 70,000 mile warranty.http://usengine.us/
Was just about the same price, if they have a good warranty go for it.
DON"T go through Oregon Engine Rebuilders!!!!!!!!!! They are crap. Give Marlin or Mike a call. They might be able to steer you in the right direction. Or any of the Fresno peeps.
Realize the new head from Enginebuildr is cast in South America. Mine lasted almost 2 years until a void in the casting developed into a water leak into the combustion chamber. It is also pretty common to have cracks in a used head. Get a machinist to pressure test a used head before he rebuilds it if you go that route.
