That is a good question. The motor was running rough and I'm fairly sure I felt/heard the chain snap so I suppose it is possible the cam stopped turning and that is why the chain snapped. When I get back in a couple more weeks, I'll see if I can get the cam to spin freely to figure that out. It will be interesting to see what the other side looks like when I pull the passenger side valve cover.
