Dizzy shaft seized and threw the chain off and in to the case is my guess.

Well the car was sittig over 2 years then I bought it only yesterday and today I put new fresh oil in it then went for a spin gave it a boot then heard a massive ticking noice then looked to see what it was and I broke the front left of the timing case and there's a crack between the 2nd and 3rd bolt on the case and the 3rd bolt has been completely blown out

Yeah we know EF's have coil-pack, but it still has the same shaft.

If it still runs I doubt it'd be the shaft. Pull it down is your only option.
