Sven you are an expert just keep it simple for all of us looking forward to more of your posts
Expert I'm not. The other posters were closer. I was picking at straws. Keep the [in-hindsight] going you mean? From valve tick, to carb flutter, to starter pawl, I don't know about chews, but that 'ratchet' of the chain link(s) chewed my ass up. It is now in my back pocket however.
Anyway, here is the deal. I am JoeAnal when it comes to chains/belts. Why? Wear pattern change. Tire sprocket tooth to chain link; cam sprocket to crank tooth; clutch basket tooth to primary chain. You see how many wear patterns change you remove anything with a link and tooth? Especially virgin tooth to links. You have control of less wear/noise when she was never touched.
1. 4x4 Suburbans use a hy-vo chain in their transfer cases. Takes one C-clip to shatter off a main shaft [moves ever so slight] and the gears go sliding into each other. It sounds like this video but louder and more robust in the bellow of the case.
2. I had my share of these coming in for warranty and I would tear them down and assemble them back together, no come-backs.
3. Dealer gets a bulletin, engineers come back saying, 'mark tooth to link when disassembly and assemble matching markings back together, we are getting humming complaints under the floorboards and no one has run over a whore, so stop the "humming," stupid.'
