That doesn't look very good actually.  I'm not sure exactly how close to the valve cover your timing chain is looking at that pic. Is it touching? If it were me Id definitely want to find that piece of cover before I ran the engine.

Maybe the chain tensioner is bad or out of adjustment and let the chain jump up and smack the cover???
