One of the m62 I helped bring back to life didn't get to derailing but there was almost no plastic left of the chain guides so it was very close to where the chain would derail. The engine still ran but sounded like it ran on marbles.

The second one had the chain derail, get caught between the crank sprocket and the lower timing cover and bind until it snapped! That was the one we had to comhine several non working engines into one working one.

Both started right up after resembling, and there was much rejoicing!

I love the gold color of the inside of the motor. I was not expecting it for some reason: it looks like it is anodized gold to make it look pretty not just that oil hat cooked on for 5000 hours.
