[QUOTE="peterg, post: 12080, member: 446"] Howdy Michael, The more long tenured owners here can probably identify that immediately, would say possibly a tensioner blade broke at the mounting ears/primary chain broke but if all your cover screw bosses don't have chain run grooves carved into them maybe the fixing bolt on the generator drive came adrift. Nonetheless, not an issue when sealing an E3L - or even a D6 for that matter - to the backside of the primary if using the sealing material ref'd in previous post. Both of these genie's have a slight standoff when correctly meshed in the primary chain and seated on the case pad to allow some crush of the material. I keep it as tightly layed to the diameter of the hole once I find where the drive end bearing boss wants to position itself to prevent oil welling up on the bottom perimeter of the hole. Theoretically, the oil slinger is supposed to centrifuge oil from the primary drive off preventing any major leak even if unsealed, I just don't like having a gap there for water to enter from the outside.
