First post, not the last.

I'm looking into my first Jag purchase. I'm not a mechanic, but I can fix things, any help or advice is welcome.

This car is beautiful, inside and out. Just 1 problem: the timing chain broke.

What could have happened when the chain broke (bent valve stems? bent cam? any ideas?). What is the best and worst case scenario? It is a V12.

The owner is fed up and just wants to get rid of it.

Thanks in advance

Phil

 

Anybody out there?
