Death of a G lader

[Phil]

Done 200 miles since a rebuild, still running it in, was sat in traffic. What would cause that?

[PeteG40]

maybe it had debris.

However i've seen two with deep cracks.. which would leave me to beleive they've been dropped or been knocked about whilst being posted!

ps jabba offer a warranty on rebuilds, unless its a timing belt snap and that doesnt look like one

one of my psd ones did this after 100 miles !

Is it just the scroll or some of the casing too??  Appears to be two pieces in the picture? Overblending around the inlet can thin the wall section making it prone cracking from cyclic fatigue as its on the end of the track where it needs extra thickness for strength.  I'm not sure whether Jabba do a crack detection on the parts once stripped down, as it may have been there before rebuild and the extra weight of fresh grease, may have given a bit more vibration, resulting in failure.

If its just the scroll then I'd blend the end to remove any stress raisers, rebalance, and get it back on, pending the failure has caused no further damage??

I'd say foreign object......

[scotsjohn]

How are the bearings looking Phil?

[Phil]

Bearings looked new.

Doubt a foreign object.

Tis just the scroll I think. I sent it back to Jabba, see what they say.

You got the other bits of lader to take a pic of?

I'd say something has gone in that.
