I'm not 100% convinced it's not chain slap due to the fact there is no tensioner. But it's a very high quality chain so extra insurance.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.

I was under the impression that Rich had one let go because he fitted a used chain which had already done some decent mileage on his new build engine. This is the reason why when it came to building my current engine Rich bought a new one to be on the safe side.Has he had more than just the one failure then?  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

As far as I know its done two. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.
