Half Time Baring

[shapeshifter]

Bad news! the half time baring has gone on my 2005 speed six, any ideas on cost of repair chaps?

[Tangoed]

I think its an engine out job.

Jason at STR8Six fitted an uprated version of this component to the engine he rebuilt for me. Don't go for a straight like for like swap, the original is flawed...as well you know now. I'm in Surrey too, but it's only 45mins up the M25/M40 to Lewknor or he has a lowloader to pick cars up to - he's picked mine up from Shepperton before, when I couldn't drop it in. Hope that helps a little,

Excuse my ignorance but what is a 'half time baring'?

[S6 SFX]

I think there's a half-time bearing, sprocket and pinion which form part of the timing chain assembly, although part of me suspects you knew that.

^ Thanks and I didn't know that, I wasn't aware this engine was chain driven. Is there any reason it's called a half time bearing? Does it fail every 45 minutes?

[S6 SFX]

Not if you give it some oranges.

^As opposed to beans.

It might be worth your while speaking to Racing Green as they have an alternative light weight chain which I understand should put less stresses through the bearing (when tensioned correctly).

Thw main problem with the bearing is that is barely lubricated, drill a couple of holes here and there to let oil in and out and it lasts a lot longer
