there is NO WAY I would have allowed a timing chain that was rubbing against the block to be re used. also, I would be eyeing the oil pump, tensioners and anything else in there that would be getting iron filings from the wear!

the mechanic reccomended against replacing the chain! HE is responsible. go to HIS boss and get the valves/etc replaced for free!
I guess it is not common but they already handled a "FEW" cases where they just turn it over without adverse effect.

I also asked about the iron filings and he said that its not a problem since it will be handled by the oil filter. Would that be the case?
