Because the valves can contact each other, a lot of damage can occur with a broken timing chain. Look at the costs for a used replacement engine or reman engine if you're getting high quotes for a rebuild.

Valves don't contact each other,The valves contact the pistons which bend,in some cases you see the piston shatter.

According to Chrysler, the valves can contact one another. This engine the valves-pistons should not contact (non-interference).
