Gaetano,
So is there any indication of what might have caused this?
Chain failure? Would it still be warrantied

That was the first thing we tried to do.....find out what may have caused the chain to brake. After eliminating the distributor gear and the oil pump I gave the engine builder a call. He told me that around the time I had bought my motor from him there was a spell of timing chain failures. He also told me that the chains being used on the timing chains were Japanese made including the Cloyes timing chains and that he had gone to Cloyes after another PBM chain broke on another motor he had built but ended up going back to the PBM's. I asked, if I were to buy another timing who's should I go with and he still recommended the PBM.
