a bit more info would help as in number of cylinders , model year minor stuff like that.
My 4 cylinder 73 series 3 engine had an automatic chain tensioner that kept the chain tight. something must be wrong for the tab to break off. needs more investigation.
I am rebuilding my engine at the moment and I have picked up new pistons and lots of bits at a reasonable price from Bearmach.
They have a great range of engine and gearbox parts and lots of other bits.
My top rings had worn out , probably by running without an air filter at some time in its life.
The crank in mine was really good and if I wasn't boring it I would have reused the crank as it is.
Are the your bearings in good condition ? if so reuse.
Just make sure everything is clean when reassembling and try and put everything back where it came from.
