Default Timing Chain Failure
On a 96 VR6 if the timing chain breaks at 5 mph, what damage does it do to the engine? Can anyone answer this?
Thanks

Default RE: Timing Chain Failure
Most likely engine damage. You will have to pull the cyl. head off to confirm. I can't belive the valves are not bent.
