Yes of course it will, you will have had no valve control and they would slap around and bend some if not all of them and even damage the pistons from contact. a "timing chain snapping" on an interfirence engien such as a 6 cylinder BMW is a disaster. some of the engine may be usable but i wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm assuming petrol. Last one l did had snapped valves which needed to be replaced. There were also scrapes on the top of the pistons but that was ok as piston crowns hit dropped valves. Used the original head but l had it crack tested to make sure there was no more damage to it.
