Bad engine noises

[Ansimp]

I was always worried about oil pump and/or supplementary oil pump and shaft, it may also be drive gears etc for the pump. If not this maybe some of the starter sprag drive assembly but less likely as the engine is winding on the starter still. Shrapnel means tear down the engine imo :doh:

The oil filter and housing.

There is fine metal in the filter and housing. It is on the outside of the filter.

 

[dan filipi]

Bearing possibly.
Clutch pressure plates are metal.
Like suggested I'd pull the rear cover.
That's the easiest to start looking.

 

[PeterDas]

Eureka!!! I think I found the problem! One of the curved metal plates riveted in the rotor came loose from it's rivet. I have another rotor and need to check if it is good. That makes sense with the noise I heard.

 

[dan filipi]

Great!

Congrats!

 

[PeterDas]

Well the other rotor has 2 broken magnets. Can I replace the magnets or just the metal plates from the donor or is it better to go with an alternator conversion?

 

[dan filipi]

Entirely up to you on the conversion.
I'd personally not.

Not sure I'd try to repair either rotor.
Put a wanted in the for sale forum, someone may have a good one or check eBay.

Someone probably has a rotor to fix you up. Gerry might have one.

 

[dan filipi]

I have a couple 1100 rotors, you can have one for shipping but I don't know if it'll fit a 1000.

Thank you Dan for the offer, but I just ordered one for $32 off e-bay.

 

[PeterDas]

Thank you all for your help, it has made diagnosing this so much easier! I think I will paint the engine while I wait for the rotor and gaskets.

 

[dan filipi]

Good deal Peter, glad we could help.

 

[slabghost]

Good plan. If it looks as nice as it runs it makes you that much happier riding.

 

[Ansimp]

Great to see that you have found the problem :good:

 

[Terry]

Talk about your best case scenario. Good deal

How did the stator make out?

Yes...inquiring minds want to know if the loose piece scarred up the stator windings?? Might need to replace the stator "while you're in there".... :builder:

 

[PeterDas]

Well it looks like the stator is bad, chewed up on the outer side, thinking conversion now....

 

[zman]

Tough call, you will spend as much for just the alternator for the conversion as you would a new stator and you still have the covers to cut,pulley to buy (don't go cheap on the pulley) brackets etc.
