I'm puzzled how you could see the chain rail had lost pieces on each end. The upper is visible, but the lower is really hard to see way down there........
The upper chain pad -- how did it look inside the valve cover? I suppose it's possible that the chain tensioner could have come apart allowing the chain to get loose.
From personal experience, the timing cover can't be removed without separating the engine from the gearbox. This same thing happened to me on a 92, which is essentially the same configuration you have. Engine out, gearbox separation, then front cover removal, clean out the myriad of pieces of the chain rail in the sump, and reassemble with new o rings and gaskets.
Sorry to say it, but if you can't fix it with a new upper chain pad, and/or tensioner replacement, the side of the road repair just isn't in the cards. There is a dowel pin in the front cover that seats into the gearbox. Even if you could get it off, I doubt if it could be pushed back into place.
If anyone else out there on TSN has a houdini method of getting off that front cover, now is the time to teach us those magic tricks.
