Re: [MBZ] 60x with broken chain and cam
Leak down test. You don't really need the tester for gross results. Apply compressed air though the glow plug holes, with the valves closed and the piston at TDC or BDC. Listen at the intake exhaust and oil fill for escaping air. Bent valves will be obvious. worn rings a little less so. Bob Parrish, FL On 12/31/07, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] 60x with broken chain and cam
The 602 engine doesn't have those nice cam stands, the cam is bolted down to the head with fairly solid cam bearing blocks instead. If the cam broke, I'd quite certain that the valve that did the job is well and truely bent, and the guide is also probably shot.
