Default Kinky timing chain

Since the holidays are here and I have time, I tore down the buggy engine. I was having a problem with the timing chain jumping teeth and thought it was stretched. After removing the culprit I discovered that a lot of the links were binding and not letting the chain roll around the crank gear and cam gear. I've worked on a lot of engines and have never seen this. So tomorrow I'll order a new chain and gasket set. Need to get it done in case it ever snows this winter 'cause I luv power sliding it around. (showin my age, it's called "drifting" now).

Sounds like the engine had set for sometime without any oil?

Also, maybe the sprockets wore on it and changed the pitch or something.
