See I dont know. I know the chain is broken but that could also be just the result of a high rpm sudden stop. Maybe the oil was accumulating on the top end of the motor starving the rod bearings? One bearing for sure was completely toast. We will see.

It was 6500 on it's way to 6800. I'd been spinning it to 6800 pretty regularly with no problems. I think the oil just started staying at the top end and pan ran a little low. Hopefully I can avoid that with the new motor.
