421alkybanshee Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Posted April 4, 2012 pull the flywheel.. inspect the keyway Im gonna do that next, ive pulled the pistons thinking wrist pin brg bad, but they both look good to me, crank brgs both look good, no play up down whatsoever and crank spins nicely. Im taking the cyls and pistons to my machine shop tomm to check piston to cyl diameter and see is bore is by some chance out of round???? If they check out then I guess im putting cyls back on and running it. But yes i do need to take flywheel off and check key. Thank you Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah, that sound can often be your flywheel is loose. When you get the flywheel off (even if it was tight) give it a good shake. If it makes any noise....it's going bad too. Magnets are breaking up and coming loose. Quote
421alkybanshee Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Posted April 21, 2012 found out it was a crank bearing. i got lucky though, it didnt fly apart before i had to tear it apart. Quote
