420 timing

probably what happened here was that a piece of chain rail broke off and got between the chain sprocket and chain pushing chain against the valve cover and breaking it .i have seen this before 3 or 4 times in last 15yrs. i agree with previous posts,first you need to remove valve covers and check for any loose rockers which will indicate bent valves.
