Looks like someone chewed a whole pack of gum and then lubed their chain with it. :shok:

Your left index finger looks like it healed quickly
That's Mark performing the maintenance, mine looks like this (https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t31.0-8/10923795_946008462075980_3852238065043528642_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9)

I thought the arm looked rather simian...

Meeting a fellow FJ owner
Priceless
I enjoyed helping out my local Leopard, he seems to really like his '92 FJ and he talked about wanting to fix her up. He has some healing to do, his finger tip was a casualty when it got too close to the chain. He seems to be taking it well. I need a bigger garage so I can host some Man Shed days.... I gave him as many tips and pointers as I could and he took notes. When he changes his oil he will check the drain plug for engine issues. But I think his engine still strong and I explained how they are used in Legends racing if properly maintained, are bullet proof...
Welcome to Kookaloo Bryan
That`s great news. Did it take out a claw? :drinks:

Not accumulation, single occurrence with a rag. A good example of how loose clothing/hair/jewelry can get caught in moving machinery.

Um you left out fingers ...
So Saint Mark, is the chain now clean and properly adjusted? how much slack was there ? Did the noise go away?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Oh Byran , Sorry about the finger .. I just couldn't believe you were actually naive enough to do that. :empathy3:
FTFY

Me too, sorry to hear about the unplanned skin-ectomy.

The Seal Guard (hard rubber part on the swing arm) is missing. So the chain slaps the steel arm and makes a metallic noise. His chain looks decent, a mild tight spot but not bad, it seems adjusted properly according to what I learned from Randy. So the noise remains but the source can fixed with an order from Randy and a little wrenching. I also suggested that if he could not source the correct part, any bit of plastic sheet (about 0.188 to 0.25 thick) could be bonded in place to stop the chain from machining a hole on the top of the swing arm.

Well ok then , thanks for the update .
That's the only problem with the chain rubbing blocks, the swingarm has to be removed to replace it if memory serves me right. But it's better than having the chain wearing a groove through the swingarm itself, one of the jobs I have to do on the Project '92. :good2:

Even I was surprised this time.

You can put one on without removing the swingarm Ray, I bought a new one a couple of years ago and fitted it easy enough. At least their still available new for the later models unlike the earlier models.
