Spoke with my father, who's built an untold number of very high strung race engines.

In his 45 years as a mechanic, and 20 building race engines he's only seen 1 chain break the way mine did, and it was a result of the chain being scored by a customer during assembly.

Going to file this under "random manufacturing flaw" and go on with life.

He also agrees, if valves are sealing (they are) and move smoothly, it's fairly certain they're not bent since the valve to guide tolerance is so small, any binding would be immediately apparent.
