"...if the tming chain goes, what can I
expect?"
Jason...
The engine is not an "interference" motor
with respect to valve/piston clearance so
mechanically nothing much to worry about. It'll probably backfire a
couple of
times as it looses power and quits as
valve timing is lost.
BTW, as timing chains really wear, they
usually "rattle their cage", making quite
a bit of mechanical noise under there,
especially to those you are approaching
who are standing outside towards the
front of the car. They usually last a good,
long time, though.
