It certainly sounds like you need work on that timing chain. It may be several things, It might not even be related to the timing chain but I would put my money on the chain or related parts. it will not be easy to give you a positive answer from here. Someone who knows what they are looking for is needed. Note quick oil change places don’t hire people who know what they are doing. ---
