    Rocker breaks, puts bind on cam, cam gear stops for a second, timing chain doesn't, due to slack in chain it jumps teeth on gear.

    say it's an exhaust valve rocker......cylinder will still get fuel but it's got no where to go because exhaust isn,t opening....if it does not hydraulic lock...guess it would have to go back up where it came from....

    buy a double roller T-chain set.Dont cost much more than a standard one.Or at least get steel gears with the new one you do buy.The nylon geared ones are a waste of money.
