The U20 is an interference engine so you will have bent valves.

> Beautiful day in St. louis - ended badly.  Okay, I'm pretty sure I have a
broken timing chain on my U-20, 1968 2000 Roadster.  What are the chances I
bent the valves before I tear it down?  In other words, do the valves clear
the pistons if the timing chain breaks?  The head is not cut down.
