Its not your cam chain going west and bending valves because you wouldn't even be able to attempt to bump due to engine lock from bent valves.
I speak from painful experience. Twice :o
If it is a major engine malfunction that's gonna cost mega bucks, you could always do what I did and get replacement to swap in. I picked up an 03 with 16k on it for 500 quid and swapped it over in a weekend. Not a job for the faint hearted but not quite as bad as you would think if you are half way spanner handy, or have mate who is. TBH the trickiest bits are getting the Exup cables routed in the right place, and getting the sodding carbs back in. Full respect to the man above who does that a lot!

Its better to ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake.
