Re: timing chain broke
do you know if there is an easy way to see if there is any bent valves? other than taking the heads off.

Re: timing chain broke
Put a new chain, gears, and tensioner on it and check compression.
You can probably get the gears, chain, and gaskets from ZZP for a decent price, although I have heard some quality ussues with rollmaster double rollers recently.

Re: timing chain broke
