Dealer claims radiator hose leak caused timing chain tensions and head gasket to blow.
Last month both timing chain and head gaskets and ALOT more were repaired. Just want to know.
If a radiator hose can cause timing chain tensiin issues
And with what repairs do the radiator hoses need to be replaced so I know of any of the repairs they have done have neglected the change of the radiator hose.

if the hose leaks and you run very low on water head gasket can probably blow as well as engine getting hot to do this. so if you drove it with it at hot probably did the damage.
