bansheeboie Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 I have a ticking/clicking sound coming from the stator side crank area. Could it be bearings going bad? Motor has maybe 20/25 hours on it if that. Quote

bansheeboie Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Posted March 11, 2016 Also on the clutch side piston & dome has some very minor pitting from detonation I'm assuming? I'll post up pics in the am. Quote
bansheeboie Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Posted March 11, 2016 That's a big 10-4. Commensing tear down now lol be back shortly with pics Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 Stator noise could be bolt backing out and hitting flywheel. Should have done a leakdown test before teardown, air leak còuld be causing deto. 1 Quote
bansheeboie Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Posted March 11, 2016 I check behind the flywheel to make sure it wasn't the stator bolts or the flywheel key sheared off. Everything checked out good. I got the crank out the motor, it seems i have some minor rusting on the crank. Guessing I sprung a leak somewhere? What would cause rust inside the crank area? Pics in few min Quote
bansheeboie Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Posted March 11, 2016 All the bearing still run smoothly, rods & wristpins are normal, no play. The little gold piece is what caused the nicks in my dome and piston top. Pretty sure that a piece of a TZ bearing if not mistaken? Only thing gold in the bottom end I can think of so I didn't have any detonation issues. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 Nice 2cyl boat anchor ya got there !! Quote
bansheeboie Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Posted March 11, 2016 Lol I got a fresh crank I'm dropping in now. Rust and carbon build up is normal from what I was told. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 Rust on the crank is NOT normal. 1 Quote
JordyRoo Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 Rods look new, did you have them done? Quote
bansheeboie Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Posted March 12, 2016 I had this crank for a few years. Ran it in my old 421cub and when I went bigger I just swapped it into my supercub. Never had a problem with it before. But this is the first time I put a TZ bearing on it. Rods and everything on the crank are ok. I didn't have them done, same rods that originally came on it. Bearings all move smoothly. I guess the TZ just gave out for some weird reason. Quote
87sheerips Posted March 12, 2016 Report Posted March 12, 2016 U ever run methanol? Only reason there would be rust Quote
