Has the oil seldom been changed on
that motor since it was new?

Lots to read on problems with that motor

Lack of oil changes
Sludge & Coolant Leaks
Water Pump & Chain issues

Seems most chrysler engines have problems
especially 4 cylinders

remove the 2 nuts holding the sawdust strut/sidecover and remove side cover. remove chain and bar. clean the chain slot and oil holes on bar. install new chain over bar and place remainder of chain over chain sprocket.back off chain tightener until chain and bar fit. reinstall side cover.

Loosen two bolts on chain cover,get screw driver and loosen tension on chain then remove two bolts and cover,then remove chain and bar,maked sure chain goes back on in same direction and tighten chain,then 2 bolts.

all chain saws have a sprocket that the chain runs on this sprocket is what make the chain rotate on the bar. the bar is the long part that sticks out in front of the motor. you must remove the side cover of the saw to access the sprocket region of the saw. be sure the saw is unplugged and then remove side cover the bar is usually held in place by a couple of bolts. on gas saws these two bolts also hold the side cover in place and must be removed to replace the bar and chain. once you have removed the side cover look for bolts holding the bar in place. if you only want to change the chain then you may be able to only loosen the bolts or screws holding the bar in place.there should be a screw to adjust the bar forwards and backwards. this screw put tension on the chain so when you put a new chain on turning the screw will proberly tension the chain /do not overtighten the chain.
also be sure you put the new chain and blade on the same as the old one that comes off trying to cut with a chain that is on backward does not work. last note if you are replacing the blade because the old one is dull take the saw to a saw shop they can sharpen the exsisting chain and save you money.

Most saws are pretty much the same procedure.....here's a decent link. Some saws will give trouble if the brake is on when you remove the side cover so make sure the chain moves freely before removing the side cover.
Here's one on tensioning the chain...

remove the 2 nuts holding the cover on, then back off the set screw remove and repl chain, install cover snug,then adjust chain tension ,tighten nuts

Here you go:

1. Remove the oil pan and pick-up tube.

2. Remove the timing chain cover.

3. Remove timing chain and tensioners.

4. Remove the four (4) bolts, timing chain tensioner and oil pump.

5. Position the oil pump on the crankshaft and install two (2) mounting bolts.

6. Position the primary timing chain tensioner and install the two (2) remaining bolts.

7. Tighten the pump and tensioner retaining bolts to 21 ft lbs in the sequence shown in attached photo.

8. Install the secondary timing chain tensioners, chains, cover, pick-up tube, and oil pan with new gasket.

See the photo below. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Go buy a chain that is the right size. As you are holding the saw on the left you will one or probably two nuts on a screw. Remove them and then remove the cover over the sprocket and chain. Remove the old chain and install a new one. Make sure the teeth are in the same direction as the old chain!!! Pull on the bar until the chain is tight. Reinstall the cover and tighten the nuts back up. You are good to go.

yes you must remove the timing chain cover, timing chain, timing chain case, and exhaust manifold, takes about 6 hrs to change, I know I got the same motor and car, good luck and have fun, also you will need to buy a gasket set for the timing chain
