If they're not fully seated they can pop loose. My dad overhauled engines for 30 years and saw some nasty messes, such as my '84 when the rod bearings went
this makes me wish I'd taken pictures of the timing chain on my '86 2.8 when it went out. The chain had about half an inch of slop in it, the cam gear skipped three teeth and what was left of the damper was in the oil pan! Believe it or not it still ran!!
