Will a timing chain failure on Grand Cherokee V8 damage the valves?

The 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee comes equipped with a 3.7L (226ci) V6 or a 5.7L (345 ci) V8 that utilizes a timing chain. It is a non-interference engine, which means that the pistons and valves are designed in a way that they will not come into contact with each other in the event of a timing chain failure. Therefore, a timing chain failure on a Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 will not damage the valves.
