Well, I had planned to race the KR in the Airventure Cup race tomorrow, but the night before I was to depart I went to fix a minor valve cover leak. When I pulled the cover, oil drained into the pan as expected, but what was not expected was the steam of metal flakes that came with it. It had been running ok, but the engine had a different ?note? to it than usual. It seemed to have a partial miss and a vibration that did not used to be there. I balanced the prop, did a leak down (all 72/80) and changed the plugs but the odd note to the engine was still there.
Judging by what I see in the filter, drained oil and the strange way the engine ran, I would say that its eating the cam gear. Bummer ; ( Jeff Lange Race 64 - Skye Racer Blog: http://schmleff.blogspot.com Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/schmleff
