Fix that rattling cam chain, be warned

<< < (3/3)

Bryanj:
Well It must be possible for those O rings to do that as it happened to you but I will say that that is an absolute first mate

daz:
Still not sure myself that is what happened, just glad oil managed to get past the blockage as this is the 1st time since i owned it that the engine has been apart, 14 years & aprox 30,000 miles

I've seen those o rings do that once- i think on my first 550. worse is when the tensioner lets go. I had one like the one in this thread. Bent valves. Alarmingly it did it again within months. I bought another where it had wrapped itself round the gear clusters destroying the whole gearbox effectively.
