Is Honda switching to timing chains?

My bad! Sorry.

 

just did a water pump on a gf's civic. cheapo afermarket crap - the
"bearing" had worn so badly, there was a full 1/8" side to side play on
the thing.

bottom line - don't buy chinese vehicle components people! unless you
don't mind replacing after only 30k miles that is.

 

Are you suggesting that accountants trump engineers? WOW! I'd never
have expected THAT!

(So those without a sarcasm or cynicism detector, that was both)

 

"Pre-stretching" may have something to do with it, but I doubt it. Pre-
stretching has been in use since at least the '60s, so even all the old-
style chains were likely pre-stretched.

Inverted-tooth chain links simply have a lot more contact area with the pin
than the old link-chains. In addition, inverted-tooth chains ride on
completely different sorts of sprockets than the old chains did, meaning
there's less stress on the links.

 

nope. 80's.

sprocket teeth are irrelevant in the wear equation:

1. chain elongation [and thus valve timing drift] is caused by wear
between the chain pins and the plates - tooth wear is insignificant.

2. for rollerless chain, lubrication is more critical than roller chain.

 

indeed lubrication is important to loosen up Tholen.

Time to change the header. This has nothing to do with timing chains.

So why didn't you?

1> This has nothing to do with timing chains.

It also has nothing to do with OS/2, yet you posted it to an OS/2
newsgroup anyway, dgk.

 

Yes, much better now, you're right.

There's still an OS/2 group? Somewhere in my basement I still have a
copy of Warp - I could probably install it if I can find a machine
that has a diskette drive.

 

Download eComStation and burn the ISO to a CD-Rom. It's is the new OS/
2 and still sucks donkey balls.

Why are you using the singular? There are over a dozen
OS/2 newsgroups.

And other supported hardware, such as the graphics adapter.
