Default Junkyard LQ4

Found a junkyard LQ4 complete engine.
Owner says possible timing chain broke but hasn't looked. If timing chain did break can I just drop oil pan and look for damage. My worry is more than bent valves.

Haha, you had me wondering. I kinda left off the ? mark at the end...
I was hoping I could take the easy way out and just drop the pan.
Guy only wants $650 but I think I could get him lower.
Should 799 heads be on this? It's from an 02 truck.

According to my research it should heads with part number 12572035. These should be aluminum with 71cc chambers. My source does not give the casting number.
