Weird sound coming from stator side crank area. Ticking/clicking sound

Janky coolant will rust parts if it's leaking in to the cylinder.

 

Also, about the TZ coming apart. Does it have straight cuts on it as well or stock primary gears? I know a few people say it doesn't matter, but this is about the 10th time I've seen TZ parts floating around without a major catastrophe to cause it.

Never ran methanol jd. And tricked I wasn't running straight cuts on that motor or a max load on the stator side. I thought I was. But my new crank I'm putting in has maxload & TZ bearings. As far as coolant leaking I've had the same engine ice in my bike for over a year and its been at the same level in the radiator. I'll have to check my cub cyl tho to make sure water jackets aren't leaking anywhere didn't seem to be. I was surprised when I opened it up and seen a lil bit of rust.

In my nobody opinion, just put two Maxloads on it. The TZ's aren't to happy with the stock helical gears pulling on them. At a minimum if you do keep the TZ, get full clips for the bearing instead of the half moon.

 

Again people are out there claiming it works with out straight cuts, but my first experience I had the same issue. Parts of the TZ made it in to the motor and goodbye crank. So for me, I just max load them. Even on my straight cuts.

Now I got the new crank in with max load & TZ bearings and a full c clip on the crank and now the crank doesn't want to rotate smoothly while in the cases. When I put the primary drive gear on (without tightening down) it makes it even harder for the crank to move. Any ideas what the problem is?
