It might be hard in video to tell difference from muffler to the noise, but that clacking sound has never been there before.

Realized that short clip isn't really enough for any one to maybe help diagnose the noise. Thought about it work yesterday and today, if it is something in bottom end, it's gonna need a makeover from crank up. So I don't see letting it run for a longer amount of time to change the overall outcome. I'll get another one when I get off work.

It's too hard to tell on my end. What I would do is use a mechanic's stethoscope to try and pinpoint where the noise is coming from. If you can't get your hands on one a screwdriver to the ear can help narrow things down.

Don't see any thing I can do at this point besides changing crank. Just too much play at every angle. On the parts bike, the crank is solid, zero play. But, the previous owner grenaded the top end, ended up with hole in piston from a broke valve. 1,000 miles on that motor. Question is, can I get away with stripping it down to just case with crank and then swapping over all the parts on current bike. Or, do i need to pull the parts crank completely and then reinstall

If you have to split the case,spend the money,get a high quality crank and bearings,then you have a solid base for upgrades such as a big block kit and won't have to worry about it failing

Took about ten minutes to get parts motor down to bare crank. Everything seems great on it, inside it. Looks brand new minus small bit of surface rust on ends that were exposed. Was it dumb luck that the crank came out easily or is that normal. I thought a press and torch/freezer would be needed. If it's normal I'm just going to start assembling good parts to good parts.
I need to get this done today is why I'm asking simplest route. If there's any specialty tools (besides fly wheel puller) needed I'll have to pause where I'm at.

All the ones I'm seeing off the top are around $35-40 They seem stock. I would much rather have an upgrade crank if it ain't outrageous price wise. That's the only part left on bike that's not upgraded |

There have been a number of threads on here about quality cranks
