WELL? what happened?? Im sure you've spoken to them by now so update US on your credibility. I'm confused, in what way was my credibility in question? You think it didn't happen? Did you want to see the shipping label? The tracking number? You might not know me but there are other people posting in this thread who do, even a vendor whom I've had extensive dealings with. Like I said, I'm confused. The truth is, I haven't spoken to them yet. My 13 yo dog died yesterday and everything else kind of got put on hold. I'm not really sure what they can do at this point. They broke my trust and they messed up my repair schedule. I haven't decided for sure but I'm probably going to just return the whole order, take the hit, and chalk it up to a lesson learned. When I get to a conclusion I'll follow up to this thread.

Yep. So far that was my only issue. I recently received a complete clutch and bell assembly and its flawless. If i were a vendor Id rather have someone contact me first before posting on these sites. I had no problem naming names after the resolution and the result which bolsters the vendors reputation. I certainly hope you follow up and post what they do for you. PS I dont care where hes from as long as i get what i need when i need it. If I were a vendor I'd love every screw up to stay a secret but as a modern online consumer I don't think that is a reasonable expectation or desire. I too just want what I order, when I order, how I order. I would expect most of us share this. I think it's also reasonable to want to be able to anticipate the chances of this actually happening before ordering from someone. I couldn't care less where he's from either by the way, that's not my concern. bb

So I opened up my package from Scrappy's today and I'm pretty damn unhappy. You can look at the photos and judge for yourself how you would feel. Basically my gripes are as follows: Oil Catch Can Kit - Arrived with open (multiple times resealed) packaging, can cylinder full of nicks and scratches all the way around, possibly from tumbling with the hose clamps or possibly shipped already damaged since it had obviously been previously returned. This item is not cheap relative to other vendors and it was not sold as a 'scratch and dent' part. QMK Gasket Set - Bent twice to fit into the USPS Flat Rate Box, creased directly through the (formed metal) Head Gasket. I bought the whole set (they don't sell the single part) but the piece I actually needed for today was the Head Gasket. Sorry, but this is just dumb. You guys at scrappydogscooters.com portray yourselves as the solution providers but in both cases, this was just straight up negligence. To everyone else reading this: Yes, I can send the order back for a credit (paying the shipping back to Las Vegas out of pocket) or for cash (paying the shipping plus losing an additional 20% restocking fee) but you know, this is a community and in a community people are supposed to look out for one another. This situation was totally avoidable and while I'm willing to let it go (there are plenty of great vendors to buy from) I'm not willing to let it go and have the same thing happen to an unwitting forum 'neighbor.'

Everything in this motor is under 25 hours except the Case, the Trans Gears, and a couple bolts.

I checked that pretty thououghly. The Crank seems happy and when the chain went the Starter would spin it like mad (no compression). I'll eyeball those teeth again tomorrow in the daylight to be safe. I just pulled the Tensioner. It's a rickety PoS. It seems to want to bind. It was new with the rest. It was fully extended but that doesn't mean much at this point. It was well-fastened.

I found a reference where someone said pretty unequivocally "Broken Timing Chain means Bent Valves on a GY6 150"
Is this true?
I have the head off and I see no nicks in the faces or edges of the valves or the (61mm) Piston.
The engine has been building up a lot of pressure in the crankcase and blew out the valve cover gasket so there was a massive sudden oil leak. No signs that anything bound, burned, or anything of the like. I've looked closely at all the bearings in the Top End and they look and sound fine. This is a young engine, maybe 25 hours since a complete empty case build-up.
That said, the Timing Chain presumably did break for a reason. Any thoughts?
Bob
