Symptoms of a worn timing chain are some or all of these:Rough idle.Backfiring, bucking, or sputtering.A rattling noise from the chain.Engine may not start.
If a timing chain broke, the engine wouldn't run and a compression test would read "0".

It depends what engine you have but its typically on the front of the engine(th side where the belts are) and its on the front timing cover, sometimes under the crankshaft pulley,
