Sounds like you lost the tensioner. It's not what I would call a major problem. True, the engine will not run without the chain, it's not a major component in the realm of stressed components. While there might be some aluminum shavings and particles from the chain/cover contact, those that would do damage to the main and rod bearings would likely be picked up by the oil filter.
You probably have a pretty good platform to have Ford customer service authorize a no-cost extended warranty on the engine.
And, by the way, this forum is principally for Ford engines last made over 30 years ago. There are forums out there that deal with the late models like your Mustang. |
