Yeah, I'm 90 percent sure that was what it was. For about a week it would be sluggish on first starting in the morning.. then leaving school one day, it just shut off while accelerating. Turned the key, no compression. Opened valve cover and saw a broken rocker or two. Pretty sure the timing chain snapped or slipped and caused bent valves, assuming this is an interference engine.
I think there is like a 100k replacement interval for the chain, not sure. Never heard of it being a problem for anyone else, but i'm paranoid about it now. I'm not sure how big of a job it is to change, but it would involve some engine disassembly I assume.
