    Did you have any proper diagnostic done which would indicate a timing chain problem?

    For prices you can check the "Estimator" section of this site.

    As Zee is suggesting, you're likely making a false assumption on an incomplete diagnosis. A "crank no start" condition can occur for many reasons. One of the most radical (and unlikely) reasons is timing chain failure.
