He had a coming together of the valve / piston interface if I remember rightly, due to the chain jumping a tooth

I thought I'd read a mustang post somewhere that said if the cam chain went there wouldn't be any valve/piston clash because there is still clearance if a piston is at TDC and the valve fully opened. Can't find the thread now, but i'm quite sure it's here somewhere.
