You'd have a hard time breaking a small block Chevy timing chain. As the chain gets loose it will run worse and worse. But to anser your question. No, the chain coming off won't make the valves hit the pistons, but it would make one awful racket as the chain got wound up on the crank gear and smashed through the timing chain cover and from face of the oil pan. ;)
