Well here it goes
I had to pull my 200 out and replace the rear seal after my fresh rebuild. I replaced the seal reinstalled the engine, fired it up, let it idle for about 5 mins., and then reved the engine a few times and then (pow) the engine shuts down.
I then turn my lights off and go back to the house to cry.
the next morining I pull the timing cover and find that the cam retainer (I think it is called that) the part that holds the cam inplace broke and went into the timing gear on the crank and broke the chain. Also broke some teeth off the crank gear.
The cam is all the way in the block so what could have caused this to happen?
Will my valves also have damnage?
Thanks
