Yeah, I'd never used it, on any forum. But on an RV forum with light traffic, I decided to try it, because there are SOOO damn many sub-forums with just a message or two. So then I decided to try it here, and unfortunately read this crap which I'd avoided opening at all, considering the OP. Lesson learned. I'd make a "your mom" joke now, but then, that would be, you know, kind of creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a scale of 1-10, or however you want to quantify it, how much of my prejudice do you think I put out to him? And that is out there for anyone else willing to chime in, I'm just trying to learn.

SwampNut Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Sorry, that would require actually reading the thread. The only message I had read was the one where he had a hissy fit. I don't have an opinion on the subject matter, didn't read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go with a "1", at least to start with. Clearly Tomek didn't like it that you even posted in his thread at all, so he automatically took offense to anything you said. Why he didn't just put you back on ignore is the baffling question to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta admit when I opened the engine my jaw dropped when I saw this. I can't imagine how the top end work you describe could have dislodged something that would have damaged the chain pictured. What type of shrapnel was floating around the engine when you tore it down? Anything large enough to damage the chain as pictured? Did the failure lead to the oil pump pickup clogging as the described? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the failure lead to the oil pump pickup clogging as the described? Unless you dropped something without realizing it, I guess. But I gotta agree that it doesn't seem likely the top end work would do that tot eh chain. As you look at cam sprockets and the sprocket on the crank are there any indications of something getting lodged under the chain? Just speculation, but it seems to me that something had to get caught between a sprocket tooth and the link plate, forcing the plate to flex out of plane. The flex may have just fatigued that plate and the oscillations from high-rev operation finished the job sometime later. Anyone have other thoughts to contribute, preferably about Tomek's chain instead of his mom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I'm also very curious about it. There's obvious damage to several links, but without seeing all the parts there's no way to say why. Even with the whole motor in my hand I don't know if there would be a way to know why it happened. Your guess of something being dropped in while doing the work makes sense and it was my first thought, but living for another 500 tack miles after that doesn't quite jive. Maybe the chain was levered onto the sprockets and some initial damage was done that then damaged the guides. It's also possible that when the rod went the shock load snapped that link, but there appears to be too much damage for the link to be an after-effect unless he continued to run it to get off the track. It's also possible that everything was done perfectly and the chain just broke for no good reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
