When the timing chain broke on my 380SL it sounded like the engine was coming apart and it stopped with a thud ! The damage was extreme enough to necessitate a $6,900 repair bill involving valves and pistons.
I now promise that I'll change the change at 95,000 intervals (it broke right at 100K on cue as it were!).
