Well the good news is my rb survived.... And nobody is sure how? I just got done doing a pull for video and clutched to shut down it died...?? So I started it back up and I heard some metal knocking and shut it down. I thought I toasted my clutch. Got out checked it out and nothing. So I was 50yds from my shop so I turned around in the road it died. I turned it over and I knew what had broke... pushed it back and tore it apart. power int belt had a 1/4in left. It got caught in my oil pump sleeve and broke my timing mark off. So Hans (HX3_nismo)let me borrow his to see if it was effed and it started right up???? I lucked out. A bolt fell out of the back plate behind the timing cover. I didnt mess with them so I didnt check them POWER INTERPRISE FOR LIFE
