I've a couple of questions about my chain that broke.
Each link is stamped I believed with "JWIS". The chain has 96 pins.
Is this a MB chain?
It was not the "Master" link that snapped. The link that was used to connect this chain together is chamfered or beaten along the whole edge of each rivet while all other rivets on the chain is beveled only on two opposite sides.
Note by the attachment that the pin that pulled out of the link does not have the roller or spacer. Where could it have gone, or was it never there? I can't believe that it came off. No other pin has a roller that has any kind of indication that it is biginning to separate.
Had to buy the "triple square" socket to get at the head bolts. Will have it off tomorrow. I am waiting for my parts. My brother who has a German auto shop in Arizona is sending them out, but who knows when a plane can have them here?
I went to the machine shop that has my Harley heads to find out when they will be done and look into them doing the work on this head when to my suprise they were closed and apparently in bankrupcy. Mayfair has been doing great work for 30-40 years. I hope I am wrong. How do I go about finding out about getting my heads back?
