OGRE Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I posted this here because i've talked to alot of people asking about my car the past couple days and would like to post what was found, this is the message I gave james. "James, I picked up my car from the shop today, and this is what we found. First off the ring gear was only slightly off (possibly because of the issue we had with the pinion nut backing off) which is not a big deal. It was just a little deep, pretty much a non issue. But we also found while taking apart the rearend was that a carrier bearing was spun on the carrier, apparently caused by something getting into the bearing, from dirt, material from break in, we don't know. picture posted of the race below. http://www.mustangmods.com/data/141/picture_001.jpg These were the only issues, I do not consider you at fault for the condition of the rearend, I totally overlook the issue about the pinion nut as no one is perfect, I understand that. Thank you for your time, hope to see you again soon. Joel" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 So you don't feel James did anything wrong, or do you think there is a problem with his work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 He feels the gears were not properly set up, possibly because failure to tighten the pinion nut allowed them to walk and break in unevenly.

martindc1 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I saw the pic but did the outer race spin in the housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 no, it was the bearing that spun on the carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James C Hensler Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 The bearing is pressed onto the carrier. It cant spin or the carrier would be cut in two. This bearing had a roller go bad. There is several threads on every mustang boards all over the net talking about it. Even on new untouched rearends. When you inspected the rear was anything out of spec??? If you say the pinion was a couple of thou deep that is because you told me that you wanted to race the car some and we do that because the housing flexes on launch and when it flexes you will have more contact by doing so. Even this new rear setup that you did will move every time you launch and thats because you are using a crush collor not a solid spacer. Other than to stir up some shit why even post this!

What he's saying is that the problems he had with the rear weren't your fault. Chill James, not everything on this board is a swing at you.

What he's saying is that the problems he had with the rear weren't your fault. That is exactly why. Because some people DO have a bad image of Hensler Racing in columbus, and many people may have thought that my trouble was James' fault but I would tell anyone when i was talking about it, and many will agree, I always said, i would reserve judgment untill i got to take a hard look at what was going on back there. The noise, vibration ect. wes caused by a bearing, that was spun on the right side of the carrier, when we pulled it apart there was no need for a remover for the bearing, it could be removed with my fingers. This was caused by something getting into the bearing/race. There were 2 chipped teeth on the ring gear, we believe that they had nothing to do with the bearing problem I never said anything you did was wrong, James. Why get defencive? I thought i would see a post from you saying, "glad to hear everything turned out well, look us up when you need a motor built, blah blah blah" but unfortunatly I was wrong, i'm not going to turn this into a bash hensler thread, and hope no one else does either, i never intended it to be. James, you brought the negitivity in here all by yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason I see your point, but why was the thread called James Hensler and my car. If he is not trying to say it was James fault, then he needs to change the title of this thread.

If he is not trying to say it was James fault, then he needs to change the title of this thread.not if he was trying to bring attention to the fact that its NOT henslers fault. the point was to exonerate james of any bad press he may be getting for this. it makes sense to have hensler in the thread title.

stolen 5.0 Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 thats hard to believe that a carrier bearing could be pulled off by 2 fingers, since they are pressed on. btw, sorry i didn't return ur call the other day, halo 2 on xbox live had my attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Remember I started out Defending the shop!

Guest James C Hensler Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Joel I offered to fix it months ago! Ok a pressed on bearing spun! It's a 1st but ok it happened. The pic of the race showed pitting from where the roller went bad. Why flame me though. Was the bearing installed wrong or did it go bad on its own. Still I offered! I hope you the very best and if it makes you feel better I'm glad its fixed. For the record Hensler Racing will never use any used parts for any reason a customer wants us to! If you think otherwise, try me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
