i failed. motors done! Theres a couple of youll that follow so i wanted to tell ya. When i came home from test ride and inspected the allen bolt that holds crank drive gear bolt came loose. thats when i pulled clutch cover and found oil pump shaft broke, so I repaired, i turned engine over to inspect and noticed something wrong. I pulled cam cover and found damage, i have destroyed this motor. Neville Lush i am so sorry I destroyed your work. I feel so awful. Threads done. for those who were pulling for me to succeed, im sorry i failed.

Sorry bud. Probably time for some drinks and regroup tomorrow.

Possible causes
Valve spring bind up?
Lack of oil pressure after broken shaft?

So sorry to hear that this happened. Do you know the sequence of failures? Bucket gouge the bore and dump material to sump leading to pump shaft breakage? Or other?

Thanks Speedy, all i really know is the crank gear bolt came loose, chain spun and I haven’t seen all the damage yet other than take cam cover off and the case around a bucket is broke. Im gonna pull the head and inspect.

The allen bolt holding crank gear on came loose, chain spun, mechanic failure to not use loctite on that bolt. Totally mechanic error
