Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause

Looking at it I think this is very likely the cause....something not correctly aligned or installed and then it is "winding up" the gearbox with engine torque.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anybody else watched this?    If so, what the hell is going on in the 'big reveal'?  What could cause the engine and gearbox to shear the casing like that?  Gotta feel for them after all that work.

POST 2Original post

Man that was drawn out! Will be interesting to see what he does though

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah he waffles on a bit like most Englishmen I’ve met. But the point of this post is what caused the gearbox and engine case to split...twice. Any ideas?

Sorry @Steve996 I couId not get through the clip.

POST 6Original post

Engine has been out to work on the IMS “oiler” ? Something left out when re installing or wrong way and applying a preload to the engine and gearbox. Engine torque applied more twist load ( torque) causing a stress crack at the weakest point ... the bell housing That’s my theory anyway

Looking at it I think this is very likely the cause....something not correctly aligned or installed and then it is "winding up" the gearbox with engine torque. Unless it was simple mounted incorretly and too solid and vibration etc. cause the failure...I still think option 1

POST 9Original post

That was 18 minutes of my life wasted that I will never get back.
