The 2.7l engine is not a free wheeling engine. most dual cam engines are not, if you are lucky it will just bend valve stems but if it goes above 2000rpms kiss the engine good . I have had them come in with the valve heads in the oil pan by of holes in pistons and connecting rods bent and through the cylinders. The 2.7 engine is a very much over engineered engine and will last with maintenance by the owners manual if not good buy.

It depends on what valves are open when the chain fails. It could be any cylinder.
YES!!!!!!
On the 2.4L the intake valves can hit the exhaust valves and bend.
Valves can bend.
It is an interference engine. Valves will bend if the timing chain fails.
Valves can and will bend.Valves can and will bend.
Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.

The valves in a 1994 Opel Astra 1400 can bend primarily if there is a timing belt failure or if the timing chain slips. This can occur when the engine runs out of oil, leading to overheating, or if the timing components are worn or improperly maintained. Additionally, if the engine experiences a severe backfire or other catastrophic failure, it can also result in bent valves. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the timing belt or chain are crucial to prevent such issues.
Yes
First off the 4.7L uses a timing chain, not a belt. Second, it could bend valves if the chain breaks.
