The engine will still run, however with low power.

In 56 years I've never seen a Packard with a chain so loose that it jumped timing, besides the engine was rebuilt 3 years ago!!!!!!!!!!


Fred, I have seen engines with jumped timing chains that could not be restarted.

A 3-year old rebuild would seem to negate a loose chain, but who knows what was installed and how it was installed.

And, please stop screaming every time you try to make a point!!!!!!!!!!!
