RE: [T3] Very disturbing noise...

["David Hornback" <dhornback@scif.com>]

Alrighty, I yanked the motor. First thing I noticed, the FAN was basically unbolted!
It had also chewed up some of the gen. belt. I did notice a significant amount
of endplay as well on the flywheel and assembley. I guess this what caused it.

It makes me beleive that maybe I overtorqued the flywheel bolt down when I last
reinstalled it. If this is the case, are the threads on the crank end gone?
IS there any remedy? Try a new bolt with some hightemp loctite? Or what? 
Thanks for ideas.

Dave
