Re: broken timing chain = bent valves? 2.2L OHV

yep, bent valves, not clearanced for valves in pistons. J-yard head and if you didn't punch a piston you should just need a timing chain kit. you punch a piston, either swap out the motor, or buy a reman or used one. less work to replace than to rebuild the whole motor.

the timing chain is not normal on a 2.2L on the 2.3L and 2.4L it's more common, the 2.2L uses a chain similar to the unit on a SBC. the others are long chains to reach from the crank to the heads.
