You sure that it is snapped chain not sucked in inlet manifold flap? It is 136 HP engine, isn't it? In both cases it is scrap engine. Sorry.

Technicaly maybe not, but ecomicaly yes. It is cheaper to buy another engine than repare damaged one.

ive done one of these a couple of years back and it was nowhere near the price of a new/secondhand engine

Ok, let's check:
1. 16 valves
2. 16 valve guides
3. replacing 16 valve guides
4. grinding 16 valves
5. big end bearings
6. replacing big end bearings
7. cylinder head gasket set
8. striping and assembling the head
9. possible new head (you can't skim it - check TIS)
10. possible new pistons or feew of them
11. chain with tensioner, guide rails and wheels
We still don't know what damaged snapped chain, we don't know at what revs it snapped (turbo bearings!). And second hand engine without starter motor, alternator, AC compressor, etc you can buy for 1200 quid.
