Does anyone have a take on the new-style flywheels coming in the tc96 and tc103 with the tapered ends on the connecting rods?
I've got a 2010 103" with approx 11k on the engine.
Top end noise comes on around 2300 rpm and continues throughout the powerband...I live @ 3000 rpm for my daily commute.

I've heard there is an issue with excessive clearance from connecting rod bushing to wrist-pin causing the noise.

Any words of wisdom?

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Top end noise, if nothing is wrong, may very well be the Lifters.
Save yourself lots of time and money and just put in Woods new lifters.

Cut stright to the chase and put the medicene where the sore is.

 

Yeah, I spun a wrist pin bushing at about 10,000 miles. Poor design in my opinion. Had to have the crank rebuilt with square rods installed and my pistons machined to fit them. Very expensive repair when you include all the labor and new parts.

 

I forgot to add that it sounded good and ran fine while accelerating. It hammered like hell while decelerating.
