[QUOTE="Modular Racing, post: 14810304, member: 18904"] Here is a picture of one just submitted from another good customer - this one had 4200 miles on it - pure E85 - not as bad as we have seen but most get the picture. The oil hole is still visible on this one compared to the one in our first post. Once the oil hole gets closed (from the plastic smearing over it) they deteriorate pretty quickly. It seems most of the damage is from the initial start-ups after sitting for a few days and the chain sinking into the plastic - on start up it rips the chain out of the plastic and leaves the type of marks shown. The guides that have been attacked can be easily identified by simply bending them in your hand, a good guide will not move at all, a contaminated guide will bend almost in half with little or no pressure. Strangely enough, if you let them sit for a month or so they harden again (like stock) - we would assume that the chemical that softens them has possibly evaporated at that point?
