Yes, IMO, one side has been cracked for a while.

IMO, it’s fucked. Pull em out ant fit carillo rods.

(re engine failure)
Did you find any signs of fatigue failure Thomas? Wave pattern followed by abrupt shear failure?
I'm just thinking about root cause.

Oh dear - that is bad. Hopefully not all look like that - is this yours?
Personally I prefer an oil filter!

... one more for the black museum - broken primary triplex chain on a friends race bike (it was in 2015). Ciao, Gert

Holy macaroni! Looks like a kind break though - it seems the bottom case escaped undamaged.

Peek-a-boo!

Like a compound fracture?!!!

 

[lavgert]

... and because we're on the subject "primary case", two more gusto pieces! Racing is the best cook ...
Ciao, Gert

Are the 1st two pics belonging to a Haider-Prünner ..?

I would suggest staying on the road more with the triples and using a Chott instead for off-road work.

The lengths people go to to loose a bit of sprung weight when racing!

Looks more like a prolapse to me.

BTW, that triple with the ground down primary case could have gone out in the next race. All it needs is a bit of gaffer tape to stop the oil escaping.

We've always got a tube of "Kneadit" in the toolkit. Used it more than once too, lol.

But if we're talking primaries, I'll repost this. First posted quite a while back - but it's the object lesson on why you don't want to race with belt drives in a hot triple. It had broken two black belts so one of the steel reinforced urethane ones was tried. Broke that too.
What debris you can see is only a fraction of it. The slingers were stuffed full. The crank went to Red for a freshen and clean - and the owner fell in instant lust with one of his Carillo conversions - and of course bought one.
I'm pretty sure it's a Lytech setup. It's now on the owners road bike afaik.
