Can a cam chain change lead to head gasket failure?
Discussion
Definitely, without a shadow of a doubt. (well sort of)
Living proof here
Dolomite 1850 engine rebuild
New camchain
Started engine lots of 'ting ting tong ting' noises. Stopped engine
Camchain in half,the link that holds it together was put on the wrong way!!
Head off, three valves replaced .No damage to piston luckily, as head off ipso facto New Head Gasket
Chain link put back correctly 40k later car sold with no more head lifting..
However
What the garage has told you is pants
