Bong, Patrick here over from MB Club PH. I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope if the chain broke the valves are intact, otherwise it'd be a top overhaul for your SD. I guess when the mechanic saw the improperly installed sprocket, at that point the most viable thing was to have the timing chain replaced since it was already grinding on the engine block. Have that done as well as the tensioner, reverse the camshaft sprocket, redo the timing and you're good to go.

At least it happened as you were testing it, and not on another one of your long journeys.
