The timing chain broke on my focus and the mechanic said the engine would have to be scrapped..from what I've read this car has a non-interference engine and that there really should not be any valve or other major engine damage due to this broken belt..I'm not sure what to do..please help??

if it's a 2.0L single overhead cam replace belt with a timing belt kit and drive it.
