This is not the first time that I have seen this failure of the upper chain guide wear strip!

I was removing my cam covers for a powdercoating job and I didn't have a problem that I knew of, Until I got the cam cover off and I flipped it over and saw that the upper chain guide in the cam cover was gone the chain had been rubbing on the steel backplate.

I found all of the wear strip but damn it looks like yours got in the chain and it could have been the culprit!
