matt036 Donating Members 280 Member For: 15y 28d Gender: Male Posted 17/09/15 01:13 PM Share Posted 17/09/15 01:13 PM Im not sayin im 100% sure on what it could be but if it is a certain builder and it was done a little while ago I wouldnt be surprised if it has a cheap nason timing set in it which is guides, tensioner and chain which you can pick up for 140 bucks. A couple chains have failed and tensioners. I would find out asap whats been fitted as they were fitting these timing kits to 10k long motors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New chain, guides, tensioner and lash absorber have been replaced since... Only quality units have been used.

matt036 Donating Members 280 Member For: 15y 28d Gender: Male Posted 17/09/15 01:18 PM Share Posted 17/09/15 01:18 PM Yeah I read that but was wondering if they've been replaced it with atomic chain, tensioner and genuine guides or another sh*t nason timing kit which includes guides, chain and tensioner which have been known to fail.

No problem. Nice to know about the Nason chains though.... I'm sure that others will now be wary also Edited 17/09/15 01:24 PM by HI PSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think him and palo learnt a lesson after his tensioner failed then when the chain snapped.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt036 Donating Members 280 Member For: 15y 28d Gender: Male Posted 17/09/15 01:31 PM Share Posted 17/09/15 01:31 PM Hence why I mentioned eariler, if it was rebuilt a little while back it could have nason gear in it. If it was a few weeks ago then happy days it wont have naso.n gear in it. And I never mentioned any names nor did the poster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not havin a go but just informing ol mate of nason crap. I know he no longer uses it due to previous faults. We dont know the previous build times of this motor and whats been used hence my comment. Edited 17/09/15 01:38 PM by matt036 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound internal to me. As Double R Ron mentioned I think it sounds like resonance being transferred into the chassic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
