oops i forgot its an inline 6
its been a long day
when i pulled the head off the engine there was a bent valve and a ding on the surface of the piston
my friend said it could have been the timing chain
now that the head is resurfaced and the valves all fixed and redone
i just want to check everything that could have caused this

I'm not a pro, but I would guess this is possible. If a bad timing belt can result in bent valve goodness, I imagine a very, very loose timing chain/guides can result in what you're describing. Can you hear it slapping loosely on the valve cover when you're at idle?
