off the top of my head,
I'd say that 1: you're not keeping the chain taught from the top side. I don't have a pic sorry. But I use wire, and pinch the chain under the top timing sprocket to hold it up till I can put it on the cam.
and 2: there is some little tiny weeny metal fins around the bottom that would normally keep your chain on. But they are common IMO to break and its no biggie, you must keep it taught from the top.
if you're turning your motor and its skipping on the crank, something that keeps pressure on the chain is missing?
And when you say "too big" do you mean the guides are too wide for the cover to fit on the block?...huh..
And BTW, I meant to tell you, I've never seen the plastic guide on the slack side break.
At least get the tension side but the slack can be a option, and it'll cut down on the cost and fabing.
