if you chain has stretched there a chance it may have jumped and your valve timing is possibly out ,the locking up will probably be the piston coming up and hitting a valve so there will be a good chance your valves could be bent

Your CAPS is probably stuck on.

HI GUYS FOUND THE PROBLEM WHEN SOME ONE CHANGES A CHAIN THEY SHOULD LOOK AT THE SPROCKETS AND THE ONE THE MOST LIKLEY TO CAUSE A PROBLEM IS THE DIESLE PUMP SPROCKET IT SEEM BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PRESURE THAT THE PUMP RUNS AT IT WEARS THE TEETH NEARLY TO A POINT THIS CAUSES THE CAHIN TO RUN ON THE TEETH EDGE THE REST OF THE GEARS IE CAM AND CRANK APPEAR OK BUT THE DIESLE PUMP SPROCKET IS WORN IF THIS IS NOT REPLACED IT WILL DESTROY A CHAIN WITH IN 10,000 KM SO HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT THIS AREA I HOPE THIS HELPS SOME ONE ELSE OUT REGARDS CHRIS PS( SOME TIMES IT PAYS TO LOOK AT THE REASON WHY SOMETHING FAILS) AND DONT RELY ON SOME ONE ELSES LAZY THOUGHTS
