Can you replace a broken timing chainon a 420 sel.
What is your question?
Timing chain broke after an oil change. The chain broke when I was attempting to start the vehicle immediately after the service. The chain then fractured the left valve cover. The chain, I believe, is now off of the sprockets. I can not see the chain through the oil fill opening as I could before the chain broke. The mileage on the vehicle is aproximately 125 K. I am not the first owner so I do know if the The engine never did start so I dont know if there is other internal damage caused by the chain break. I live in Astoria Oregon and found your services through USAA, my insurance company.
