It definitely was one link off, and did slap the top guide when rotating the engine clockwise manually.[size=33px]

By “slap the top guide” do you mean the chain was loose? Because it should be pretty snug. If everything else was intact and the chain was loose and/or had jumped, that suggests that the tensioner had not done its job.

I remove the t stat to engine housing and then the pipe, I leave the heater hoses alone. If your thermostat to rad hose housing has that blank capped off , I replaced the housing with one from a 2007 2.2, no extra port to cap off!

Correct, it was loose, I think on the of two camshafts jumped a tooth allowing a little slack between them.

It's all back together and running like a top. The Cloyes exhaust balance chain sprocket did not want to fit on the balance shaft no matter what, so I left all OEM balance shaft gears. It looks like the flat spot/key wasn't cut exactly right on the back of the gear.
