The tensioner has to be reset . so that is prob more a cause than the old chain/rails, but you will never know..
You prob have seen post here where guys break cams right in half 10 min after doing a new chain cuz they did not reset the tensioner ..
I will ask about an engine and get back to you is I have any leads.
Bad break , but never to be forgotten ..and don't feel alone ....seen it happen even when you have it done at a shop.
Et al..
A good thing to ask when anyone is having this kind of work done is to ask the guy doing it explain to you how those chain tensioner work... it he doesn't mention the Ratchet design , question him on it or print out one of these sad post to bring with you.
