[DeTomaso] Re; Timing Problem

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp]

Art,

It would depend on how it jumped...forward or backward. If the valve timing
was off that bad it would have bent valves as soon as it started.

     If my timing chain jumped a couple of teeth,  would you see retarded 
timing with a timing light?  Do I run the risk of valve to piston 
interference running it like this?
