2 step & bad harmonics

bigsixman · 08-29-2013, 01:35 AM

A buddy of mine just hurt his new 540" bbc by bouncing off the rev limiter. He broke a high quality roller timing chain and bits of the chain broke off and seized his oil pump which stripped the distributor gear and shut the motor down at the 60' mark on the strip. He was lucky that the timing chain did not completely break and bust up the valve train. He made several calls after this happened was told that this is common.
