Read the manual
Timing chain change very rarely break but what tends to happen is that the guides and the tensioners wear out causing the chain to slip resulting in catastrophic engine damage Motors equipped with con timing chains have very little valve clearance so when the chain slips you will be lucky if you don't bend every valve in the motor
