I suspect you'd be more likely to be lucky when the timing snapped on ignition. If the engine wasn't spun up and running, that's a whole lot less force. For $120? I'd take that chance. Especially with a Jag.

I've worked on a Jag that'd bent the valves, sent the head off to a machine shop, this was a straight 6 hemi and it came back without the dual overhead cams timed for installation. You had to have two guys, one turning each cam to get the alignment marks in the proper place while making sure the intake and exhaust valves didn't collide with each other, and then clamp the cams in place while you put it on the block and reinstall the chains. I don't remember how many chains there were, though.

Oh, wait... I just noticed your username. You're not Crazy. LOL

But, yeah, it seems like they should be able to make this work - or at least have good odds at making it work. The engine hadn't spun up or anything. They turned the key, the lower timing chain broke. That's it. So, if shit collided, it only did so once and with not a whole lot of force.

It doesn't need to be knocked too much out of line to mess things up

That sounds like a pain in the ass. Also, a replacement Jag may be expensive compared to the other cars available. LOL You're gonna have to go to work more often. That'll suck.

Sounds like mostly labor

I guess so. I'll see what I can do. I need a vehicle

It'd be great if you got out of it for just a new timing chain.

If not, well, it wasn't that expensive as compared to the cost of a new car or new engine.

It would be great. I would like to drive that car for more years
