Depends on mileage and if any damage was done to the valves when chain came off. If it was my car, I would rebuild the heads as well

Ok, yeah that sounds like timing issue and it can be caused by a bad timing chain. Do a compression test to verify

You go to your local auto parts store and buy or rent a compression tool. Remove spark plugs and thread compression tool in the spark plug hole, 1 at a time, crank engine for 5 seconds and see what pressure reads on each cylinder
