I had forgotten about the fact that the timing chain in the motor I'm rebuilding has a kink or 5 in it, and needs to be replaced. Reassembly came to a halt rather quick today, and I need one as soon as possible. If anyone who is disassembling all these motors and such has one layin around, I'll take it off your hands quick and fast like.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Does the BMW F650 use the same timing chain? If so the BMW shops are better @ stocking parts.

 

Here is where I stand... The chain dropped into the cases when my buddy was handling his motor, and for some reason one day he decided to give the crank a spin. The chain binded behiend one of the washers and somewhat kinked. With a little careful readjusting, it seems to run/pivot smoothly when I roll it over my finger, and thats a lot smaller radius than the timing chain gears.

I could run it again, but that would be risky... I could order a new one, but that will be a 3-4 week wait...What would you guys suggest? Like I said it seems to run smooth, but is it worth the chance being that it is going to be slapping around in the heart of the engine where 1 slip is fatal?

 

I think I have one in the garage.

let me know. I'm headed out for a couple days on a business trip. Wifey should be able to ship it though.
