Whut?

1. Proper English and grammar will help you and other understanding what happened.
2. If your timing chain broke you will most likely need to inspect everything to make sure the valves and such are fine.
3. Only when you take things apart will you know the extent of the damage.
4. Might as well do the timing chain guide at the same time. It is made of plastic and is probably worn pretty bad.
5. How many miles or kilometers are on the engine? If there is a lot, I would just fully rebuild it since you are taking it apart anyway.
