Looking at a Mini Cooper S 07' (77,000 miles) that had the timing chain jump and bent the valves. Engine has no compression and according to owner bore scope shows no piston damage. Have no idea condition of the head.

Who has first hand experience with this I might call?

Thanks

I don't know if this helps, but there was a recall on those cars for timing chain issues. Considering that the failure was probably caused by the timing chain problem, you might be able to get MINI to at least contribute something towards the repair.
