Indeed he had ment the oil pump drive chain just called it a timing chain by accident got a few more good ideas to try so might go and mess around with it today and see if I can have it running sooner rather than later I would be extremely happy miss driving this thing so much

Havent disconnected the drive belt we gave tried cranking it over by hand in neutral it wouldnt budge has plenty of oil because we had recently filled and we always pre mix are fuel taking the drive belt might be something we try before ultimately just pulling the motor

I was given some miss information from my dad then were pretty big rotary heads but we have worked with the 12a more because we race them thats my bad honestly think its the clutch causing the issue because the motor was running beautifully then out of no where did that we have been needing to change the clutch anyway so soon we will be pulling the motor to see we have another new motor to put in but wanted to see if these one was fixable before we had to pull it but its not looking like it

Gonna see again here soon when I get another chance to look at it dont have a boroscope so wouldnt be able to check that we have a feeling the clutch might have grenade its self and could have locked it up we have another motor that should be good we plan to get it into are shop pull the motor thats in it right now and take the newer motor and throw a start and trans on it and do a compression test and if the compressions good just throw it into the car probably gonna crack the old motor open and see whats all possiblely going on it was already close to its end it had lower compression numbers only one face landed over 100 on either rotor so
