Should I discover a leak, can it be JB welded?
Also am I on the right track staying away from the
Oring/Xring chains?

You can have that case fixed...I've had a couple done over the years. Just find a good welder...but like Sandblaster said...if it ain't leaking, I wouldn't make it a priority, unless you want to....other wise JB should band-aid it for a while

There are a few threads on here, with mixed answers/opinions about x-ring chains...but I myself won't run one.
Same with the 13T front, a few threads on them too...most of them suggest to not run one.

 

Hawkeye58:
As I continue my research on this a see all of you guys input, I have come across numerous pics of small rectangles of what look to be that insert.
I see some with it showing in two or three locations.
This looks odd to me.
But, you all have helped me relax and given me some ideas to proceed with.
Thanks a lot. All of you!!

Hawkeye58:
Sandblaster, did you just sand it down to the desired clearance?

sandblaster:
Started with one worse then yours, then I used a porting tool to get it a bit closer then last I sanded with a fine flapper wheel.

Hawkeye58:
Okay,
Good to know.
I may follow your example.
Thanks!
