Mudflap, I am much relieved to hear this. I have told everyone who will listen that I don't like the idea of a chain drive oil pump, but you are the first person who has told us that this chain makes enough noise when it wears out to give you fair warning before you have to walk home, leaving a smoking hulk by the side of the road!
