Timing chain problem
Hello I was wondering if anyone could help me. I bought a 2008 Cooper S back in may it has about 85,000 mikes on it. I was driving 2 days ago and made a raffle sound from under the hood then it just shut off. When I opened the hood I saw a hole in the valve cover and a flat piece of metal sticking out. After getting it to mechanic he told me it was the timing chain guide and the motor was done. Anyone ever hear of this problem.
