Little update. I put the endoscope down the little plugged holes on top of the cam sprocket housings. On the n/s bank, you can see everything spinning away clear as day. O/s has no movement at all so definitely got a snapped chain and presumably a wrecked head.
How much do you guys think I'd make selling the car as is, 2008 excellent condition in general, gearbox oil changed at 60k intervals.
Probably make more breaking it but I don't have the time and fixing it is unlikely given the cost of parts and time involved.
