My c10 starting having a tapping noise on the lower left side. As I pulled over, it died. Now it turns over but does not start. What do you think happened. Temp needle never moved from it's regular place.
If the crank position sensor has retired, the ignition won't get the signal to do anything.What would cause the sudden stop? That's what is confusing. Almost as if the crank is not turning. Ahhhhhhererer
If your timing chain is piled up inside then your timing chain has broken or another catastrophic failure has occurred to a gear.I have two pictures I need someone to look at. One is a small piece of metal that was in the above cover. The second is my timing chain is piled up inside . What is this? Super bad or just a hick up.?
I emailed. No reply yet.Anybody gonna post.the pics,.so see all might add to the discussion.
I have no idea. It's still in the frame.What will shipping be?
CarnageNot yet. Worried of what I might find. What should I look for?
BestA way to check pistons for holes? Please don't say remove the heads.
You would not want to see the below or anything like it. As noted above any witness of contact then leads to further required investigation. Was the valve bent at all and now sealing surfaces do not matchup on the head. Was guide damaged. Seen below the ridges on the piston from the impression will create hotspots and metal floating around in the cylinder when they ‘burn’ off.What should I not see?
I wouldn't remove the head yet.Now we are getting deep. You think I should remove the heads? That would be the right and sure thing to do right? If I start in on it like that, I'm to stubborn to quit. But hey, she was a beast before this. I gotta save it. Here goes a second mortgage and a property lien. Anyone wanna buy my first born??
Love the enthusiasm and then immediate rethinking: “Yeah, it’s gonna be tragic.”I'm capable of the work. Never been this deep, but I feel confident in my ability. Worse case, new motor plus shipping. I get this manual, I'm going in beast mode on this. Maybe open a bike shop!! Become world famous! Yeah, it's gonna be tragic. But I feel good about it because I got this place to get guidance. Slow, but it works.
Removing timing chain today. Let it begin!
Looks like I need that engine. Is it a complete engine ready to install or will I need parts from this one? Does it have the generator?? Let me Google the weight and calculate postage. I'll let you know what I find out.$400 plus shipping.
215 pounds is shipping weight. Give or take a few pounds for accessories on or missing. Not to shop shipping facilities. Be right back$400 plus shipping.
Pulling head should not be needed.I found him a new timing chain or used parts to do a bent valve test.
But, I'm unsure if a timing chain and guides can be installed without pulling the head and cylinder (??).
Does anyone know???
Ride safe, Ted
