Phil, I agree that there is going to be valve damage with a broken chain that's undeniable however what remains questionable as far as workmanship is concerned is the fact that the entire right side of the engine shows valve contact with the pistons for an extended duration. I didn't post pictures to show this previously but here they are below for anyone curious.
Left side engine valve showing the contact that would have occurred at breakage.
