Hey everybody,
It took a while, but the fault has been found. The timing chain failed and disintegrated into pieces. I’ve attached two photos.
Twenty-one links are missing; I found four. The chain was installed (new) in 2021 and has covered a maximum of 200 miles since then.
What’s your take? Poor quality or other factors? I couldn't find anything unusual; the sprockets are fine, and the Woodruff keys and shafts also appear to be in good condition.
I ordered a new one and another brand (Melling 166) from Rockauto, hoping it lasts longer.
