I would advise that you remove the front cover and inspect the state of
the chain and it's components before using the starter to turn it over.
Yes you may get away with it but you'd feel shitty if the chain jumps
while you are compression testing and the motor goes clunk.
Will you be able to
Pulled the valve cover today to survey the damage. Looks like there is
supposed to be a slide rail at the top of the head under the chain
toward the middle side of the engine, which is not there. Is this
correct? Looks like its broken which caused the valve cover to break.
Chain is intact
I've never looked at one of those engines, so it's hard to say - did
you pull the other side and compare?
Can you get someone to crank it by hand while you watch the cam
followers go up and down? Don't know how you'd tell if valves were
bent other than to see if they go down and come back up.

Fraid you're gonna have to pull off the timing case.
The piece that is broken off (find it here
http://www.detali.ru/cat/cats/?cat=mb ) is situated between the two
camshafts. Now the problem is that you have two holes in the cam cover.
Why? Because something broke off in the bottom, got
Kaleb, et al.
From the photos, it looks like a very worn chain, and/or a dead
tensioning device. When the throttle is suddenly released, the chain
rides up the back of the sprocket and part jams between the guide and
the sprocket, putting a lot of pressure on the guide, eventually
breaking

Im missing 110, and 119 and 128 appear to be broken as well. My theory
is 110 broke, got drug across between the top of the chain and valve
cover, and broke valve cover. It looks to me like 119 just bolts on from
the top. But yes, Im sure the cover needs to come off just to be safe.

I figure whatever needs to be done with the rails, it also should
probably have a new chain and tensioner as well.

Is 119 a lubricating guide? It appears to be matched to the
semi-rectangular hole (which appears to have a piece stuck in it)

There may well be quite a bit of plastic floating around in the motor,
the oil pan may have to be dropped
not sure.
Yes, Im sure there is still a good bit of plastic floating around.
