ENGINE CLATTER
FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO UPLOAD A VIDEO. you can barely hear the clatter on the video it is more a clatter.to me it sounds more like loose chains clattering. can the tensioner break or get weak and let the chain smack the case at a certain rpm? can the chain guides break? or is there something else that will make a clattering sound like that?
