Timing chain broke !!!!?

You got lucky. The repair will be expensive, but the engine should be alright.

yank the heads, it's an interference motor, meaning that the valves will contact the head when the chain goes, thus bent valves. it may only be one or2 but that is enough to keep you from going down the road. as Daniel says you got lucky that it happened while trying to start. I have personally seen the valve take out a piston from such a thing. get a Haynes manual and the necessary tools if you're mechanically inclined and DIY

no man if your timing chain is broke you aint going nowhere .

go with joseph

I have a 2003 pontiac sunfire my timing chain broke . Will this cause permanent damage to the engine ? Will the car still be drivable . The chain broke while starting car . How much will repairs cost
