Dont have dam photo on this phone. In any case steel chain running over a steel guide would sound like an excavator doing 200km/h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do other manufacturers solve the problem? Here's mine. For those that don't know the missing plastic should be next to the yellow link. Here's an image of a stock one Edited 23/06/16 05:08 AM by -Stever- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely gets thinner at that end though Does look like the chain has made a bit of contact with the metal in steves pic. Cant help but wonder fkn how?

Gold Donating Members 23,708 Member For: 16y 8m 13d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 23/06/16 06:44 AM Share Posted 23/06/16 06:44 AM 3 hours ago, G6ETNZ said: Fixed. So it turns out to be a broken timing chain guide which (I assume) lodged itself in the gears somewhere, jumped two teeth with the chain and caused the ensuing troubles. Second hand parts are in anyway, along with oil(!) timing chain arm, VCT gasket cover, s/plug gaskets, rocker cover gasket and crankshaft seals. Plus 10 hours labour. On the plus side, the mechanic's comments included "sh*t it's quick". I don't feel quite so guilty about the lax oil change now, but have still learnt my lesson. Thanks all for the help. If you don't mind me asking what did they charge you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume a cam chain guide is $270 in Oz too..... If I'm looking for positives, less than the $6,120 they originally quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to say exactly what the cause would be without more info though. Ralph called it in the first reply, no surprises there!
