How much oil is showing on the dipstick?

What weight oil did you put in?

What kind and part number of the new oil filter did you install?

How many miles on this engine?

If you have a fully charged battery with injector fuse pulled, coil wire disconnected, spark plugs removed, removed the rocker cover, and you spin the engine for about 1 minute, and you don't see any oil in the rocker rack or get oil pressure, there is an issue with the pump or the oil is not being picked up in the pan. 

Usually, for a timing chain to break on 22, the plastic chain guides need to fail.  If one fails, usually on the driver's side, the chain will slap against the timing cover and the noise at start up is very obvious.

When you pulled the oil pan did you find any pieces of chain or pieces of chain guide?

The oil flow on a 22 is from the oil pan pick up tube directly to the oil filter.  If the new oil filter is dry, then the oil is not being picked up from the pan.
