That happens more often that you might think. Obviously not just a Packard thing. I had a friend who had that happen with a Packard V8 and the arm (I think it was the arm) fell into the timing chain cavity, pretty much destroyed the chain and sprockets, and ultimately punched a hole in the timing chain cover.

So consider yourself fortunate.
