Help: Why's my timming chain do this
Can't figure why chain cut into the block. Has anyone else seen this before? This is a L98 roller block & roller cam. I took it apart to install a new cam and found this when I pulled the gear off.
Thanks

I have seen directions to look out for this situation. It all depends on the block casting. I ground mine down on my 406 to avoid this. Common to do.
The double rollers are wider than OEM stuff normally.
In other words...clearance it some more (dremel, etc) and no harm...except for the metal that already went thru your pump, but into your filter...:)

Re: (ski_dwn_it)
Yeah, the sprocket is on the right way. I guess I'll put the grinder to it in the morning. The red stuff is redline assy lube. I actually noticed this after I had installed the new cam and was ready to button things up. Then as I was admiring my work I noticed :rant: :eek: something was wrong wrong wrong.
