Your not gonna like it, but what I see is the chain got too loose & hit the case hard. Usually the chain breaks & punches a hole in the case. I STRONGLY recomend taking engine apart so upper case can be tig weld back together. I don't kow if you realize it but, there is a mating surface involved in this repair. With the cases apart the broken part can be held in proper place & an oil tight weld made. Its tougher to fix when the peices are gone.
