Everything I own is old and unique, guess Iam old and unique too.
This forum is about old and unique, so you are in the right place.

I agree if it is the timing chain, you will have a bent valve or two, and depending on how fast you were going, what ever other damage was done. could just be the chain and a couple valve, broken cam shaft. or cracked head, VC, and broken off cam shaft towers/bearings, and......

You won`t know for sure until you start digging into it. hope it is just a clutch problem, easier fix and less costly.
at least you are close to home. when my 85 broke it`s chain, I was 500 miles from home.

Keep us up to date.

What is your location?

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
