so yesterday on the freeway cruising my car loses power then shuts off. looked under the hood to find out my valve cover cracked open. I believe the timing chain snapped, and i was wondering if this has happen to anyone here. wanted to know if there was a chance my head would still be ok. also my car had chain rattle for a while.

A month old here but I would say just open her up and see for yourself. I have had a tensioner fail and break tf apart causing valve damage, though I was rolling up to a stop sign going maybe 25MPH. I had just got the best MPG I ever had with that motor and heard no chain rattle prior. Really you have no way of knowing without taking the time to remove and inspect the head

But the chances are low because interference motor problems
