Re: Clicking sound when hand cranked

PS: the clicking noise was the magnets pulling the inner ring hard toward them, making a thud/clicking noise.The magnets are very strong and.thus. a noice/clicking was created. Easy fix. You do not have to pull the whole engine......just remove the back plate with the engine in place.

Re: Clicking sound when hand cranked

I had the same exact issue recently and found that my magnet ring/stator had come loose. I checked it out and it was OK so I re-assembled with Locktite. No further problems.
Sounds like this is a common issue.

Re: Clicking sound when hand cranked

Thanks Scott and Bryan! You both sent us down the right track. Our aerovee was assembled before we purchased it. The previous owner had hired a VW mechanic to assemble the engine. Don't know if the VW guy or the previous owner installed the stator. Regardless, after we removed the stator assembly p...

Re: Clicking sound when hand cranked

If it's the same click I had, check out my Kitlog site. Start here, including the video link, and move to the next pages for the fix.
