Does overheating warp or break a timing chain?

[Trigs]

so my motor was deprived of oil, and overheated. i was just wondering if the overheating can affect the timing chain, like break it or warp it? because its a new chain, and i wanna use it on a new motor i'm building.

thanks.

The amount of heat required to damage the chain would melt the head. You're fine, just check for slack or loose rollers before using it.
